Now offered at an exceptional new price! Among the enduring works of renowned Santa Barbara architect Alex D'Alfonso, 878 Paseo Ferrelo stands as a beautifully preserved 1929 home that continues to reflect his timeless architectural vision. Set on one of the Lower Riviera's most desirable lanes, the home honors its original character while embracing the comforts of modern living. Enchanting wooden gates open to a whimsical secret garden, where a stone fountain, stately king palm, and mature plantings create a stunning arrival.Inside, sweeping ocean and island views, natural light, and D'Alfonso's signature windows and doors blur the line between indoors and out. Two beautifully appointed bedrooms and baths offer comfort and privacy. A custom kitchen, featuring a Bosch range and Sub-Zero refrigerator blends craftsmanship with everyday function. Newly installed central HVAC, Rinnai tankless water heater, copper gutters and downspouts, and the earthquake engineered foundation reflect the homeowners' thoughtful stewardship.
