Property Description
989 N. San Marcos Road presents a rare opportunity to own a timeless ranch-style home offered for the very first time since it was built in 1962. Designed by Paul Greene, this distinctive home sits along the historic stagecoach route that connected Santa Barbara to Mattei's Tavern in Los Olivos, serving travelers and commerce from 1860 to 1901. The meticulously maintained four-bedroom, two-bathroom main residence is complemented by detached private guest quarters complete with a kitchenette and full bathroom--ideal for extended family, guests, or creative flexibility. Mature trees soar skyward in the expansive backyard, creating a peaceful retreat dotted with fruit trees, California native flora, and inviting outdoor spaces, including a gas fire pit perfect for gathering under the sta Residents also enjoy access to the private Giorgi Park recreation facility featuring a swimming pool, sports court, and picnic area. Rich in local history, the neighborhood is tucked within a grove of Majestic Oaks, Bay, and Sycamore trees, an area once used as a camping ground for wagon groups traveling through early Santa Barbara. Moments from Santa Barbara's cherished Tucker's Grove Park, scenic hiking trails, and nearby schools, this is a property where nature, history, and community come together in an unforgettable setting.
