Property Description
Poised at the crossroads of Santa Barbara's Upper East and downtown and across from Alice Keck Park gardens, and now for sale for the 1st time in its 85-year history, the McCormick House is a unique treasure and legacy estate opportunity. Built in 1940 in a Minimal Traditional design with enduring elegance by architect Chester Carjola for the purpose of a wellness center, the structure was converted to a residence in the 1950's, then used since the 1970's as an art education center. Zoned for residential or multi-family on 0.72 acres, the ~12,500+/-SF structure is ready to be re-imagined as a one-of-a-kind grand estate, moments from parks, theaters and dining. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Santa Barbara's architectural and philanthropic heritage - while shaping its future.
