The Sunroom connected to the kitchen is the place to hang out with it's French doors (3) and 4 large windows. Off the Sunroom is a redwood deck w/ umbrella, and a comfortable and colorful patio with seating and umbrellas. The living room has a gas log fireplace, as well as a new dramatic mantel, hearth & surround.

The places to walk to are pretty impressive and include 2 grocery stores, a Trader Joe's, 3 sushi bars, 3 Italian places, several Mexican places, a couple of new California Cuisine excellent eateries, a CVS, 4 (at least) nail salons, bookstore ( printed books), Santa Barbara Municipal Golf Course, 3 breakfast places, a couple of bakeries, several bars, 2 Thai restaurants, 3 pizza joints, 2 dry cleaners, a Starbucks, gas stations, liquor stores, convenience stores, on and on....ALL of this a few blocks from our quiet neighborhood.

My wife and I have a small and separate cottage at the rear of the property, that we stay in while you are our guests in the main house. We occupy the carport which is attached to our unit, and far back patio as well. Access to the detached laundry is provided. We use the driveway to access our unit and carport. Street parking in front of the house is readily available.

About the host

Hosted by RODNEY UTT

Host profile image
I am a retired General Contractor and Cabinetmaker, and my wife is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist w/ a private practice in downtown Ventura. I do some construction consulting work, and am an adjunct instructor at SBCC in the Construction Technology Department. I have lived in this house since 1985, and in Santa Barbara since 1968. Before I started my contracting/cabinetmaking business, I was an abalone and sea urchin diver, and spent 5 years diving all around the Channel Islands, and our coast as far north as Point Conception.
My wife and I travel a lot, and when we are in Santa Barbara, we live in our guest cottage behind our house when we have VRBO guests.

Why they chose this property

This home was the family home of a good friend. I purchased it from her mother who was ready to move. My friend said to me one day...."You need to buy my parent's house." I did.

What makes this property unique

Our San Roque neighborhood is a unique tract of land that was surveyed and planned in 1923 as "Rutherford Park" and revolves around "The Argonne Circle". Stephen Rutherford came to Santa Barbara in 1872, and was quite the shrewd real estate investor and a very successful farmer. Our house was built in 1930 on one of the streets that ends at the Argonne Circle which Stephen and Agnes Rutherford named after their son who was killed in the Argonne Forest in WWI. Stephen and Agnes' 2 story home 1 block over is still as stately as ever. The neighborhood is all one of a kind homes. Virtually no two alike. Hope you get to walk the neighborhood.
