Hillside Haven - Classic Santa Barbara Cottage in Santa Barbara

Hillside Haven – Classic Santa Barbara cottage

This elegant and well-appointed cottage on the Lower Riviera is
close to downtown, and a 5 minute drive to East Beach.

Hillside Haven has a special, peaceful and regenerative energy. It
is a completely restored 1920’s era home, and all the charming
details of this handcrafted cottage were preserved. You will notice
the original tile in both bathroom and kitchen, and the vintage sash
windows still have the old weights and pulleys in many of them. Many
of the light fixtures are also original from 1929 and are still
working beautifully.

You will appreciate the fine craftsmanship of the plaster and
sandstone work on the property and landscaping. Original hardwood
floors have been restored throughout the home. The house has been
furnished with an eclectic mixture of antiques and reproductions
from Mexico, India, Thailand, England and Spain to create a warm,
comfortable and happy place to stay.

The private front and back yards boast several fruit trees,
including bananas, oranges, grapefruit, lemons, loquats and
strawberry guava. You will also find beautiful white and shell
ginger along the front of the property acting as a privacy hedge.
Colors scatter the grounds with giant bird of paradise,
bougainvillea, fuchsia, and geraniums and the air is filled with the
scents of the pink, star and white jasmine

An outdoor dining area, next to the bubbling fountain, is great for
relaxing after a full day. The ocean can be viewed from the yard,
and the sight of the Channel Islands silhouetted against the Santa
Barbara twilight sky is something you will not soon forget.

Its central location offers easy access to all that Santa Barbara
has to offer. Take a quick walk to upper Milpas St. for easy
dining, a mile further is all the dining and entertainment that
downtown SB offers. The Santa Barbara Bowl is just up the street,
and the Mission is a 5 minute drive.

This gracious and peaceful property will immerse you in the Santa
Barbara lifestyle. It’s warm and inviting furnishings, classic
cottage feel, and personal touches all combine to make this a
retreat you will want return to year after year.
