This one-of-a-kind Samarkand home blends sophisticated contemporary architecture with the original 1940’s floor plan. Expertly designed, the 3-bedroom, 2 baths, single-level home evolved over the decades to provide environmental sustainability and practicality with modern luxury. Original oak wood floors grace the bright living room with fireplace, formal dining room, and the front two-bedrooms. Radiant-heated concrete flooring blanket the rest of this showcase home. The custom-built kitchen offers soft lighting, smooth surfaces, and clean, efficient lines. Dark eco-friendly and durable countertops complement the sleek bamboo cabinets and floating shelves. An open concept family room sits adjacent to the kitchen. Walls of glass and clerestory windows line an expansive sun-lit gallery, an ideal environment to display art. At the far end of the gallery resides the private master suite sanctuary. Divided into two spaces, the room offers a media/sitting area, elevated ceilings, clerestory windows, modernized fixtures, a stylized bathroom with walk-in closet, and picturesque garden views. A highlight of the home, the exterior courtyards are truly an extension of the interior living spaces that will both excite and calm your soul. A tranquil water feature replicates the sound of a trickling stream and a steel pergola provides a space to entertain, meditate, or bask in the wonderful coastal climate. A detached 2-car garage, drought-tolerant landscaping, vegetable beds and fruit trees (orange, lemon, avocado) complete this Samarkand haven. Perfectly situated in the desirably calm Samarkand neighborhood yet a stone’s throw from shopping, restaurants, golf courses, the fairgrounds, and highway 101.


Get to Know the Neighborhood

Samarkand

 

Just across State Street from San Roque, Samarkand is a small neighborhood perched upon a modest hill. It is quiet, safe, ideally located in the center of Santa Barbara proper, yet immune to excess through traffic.

About Samarkand

Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital, the Earl Warren Showgrounds and Upper State Street are all adjacent hubs of activity. Although surrounded by busier byways, the Samarkand’s streets remain infrequently used by outsiders. Families find the rarely traveled blocks and surrounding parks to be very child friendly.

Samarkand Life

The dominant structure of the district is an upscale retirement community, and its presence reiterates the calmness of the neighborhood. With views of the foothills and a golf course, schools and stores just down the road, and reasonable home prices, the Samarkand is much desired Santa Barbara neighborhood that cherishes its ‘under the radar’ atmosphere.
