Zuni buildings of the American Southwest where Borg spent a significant
time painting, its style has been described additionally as Victorian and Mission Revival.
With a life-style of travel and adventure financed by his Patroness, Phoebe Apperson Hearst, Borg was able to complete the home in 1918. It has been lovingly maintained and significantly
improved by the present artist-in-residence since she purchased it in
the mid-1970's.
The artist studio, with 14 foot ceiling and a wall of windows, is a highlight of the home, and is sited perfectly to enjoy northwestern light. A wood-burning fireplace, supplemented by a newer high-efficiency heating system, warm the 14 x 20 room. Wood floors and paneling provide a rich, creative environment.
Walkability score is high: this property is just a minute from the ocean, Santa Barbara City College, the harbor, shops, restaurants and more.
Zuni architecture meets Mission Revival, with a Victoria twist. You must see it to appreciate it.
