Originally opened in 1918, this former Hollywood hideaway was painstakingly restored to its 1920s Craftsman glory.
Wellness
A zero-edge outdoor pool appears to spill directly into the Santa Barbara coastline and Pacific skyline.
The neighborhood
Winding roads through the quiet Riviera hills sit minutes from Santa Barbara's historic downtown and beaches.
