What makes this property unique
Located in Santa Barbara’s Landmark District, just steps from State Street, The Funk Zone , West beach and Sterns Wharf sits this Folk Victorian Home. This home Recently renovated in 2019 is part of the Brinkerhoff District . The Brinkerhoff District is a quaint neighborhood representing a period of significance to Santa Barbara’s history. This neighbored has collection of well preserved homes built between 1886 and 1913 in styles including Queen Anne, Italianate, Stick, Craftsman, Folk Victorian, and Colonial Revival. The homes are reflective of neighborhoods of the late 19th and early 20th century.
This 1906 Folk Victorian was but for the Rees family as a personal residence and would later be home to a series of different businesses over the years including a tailor, seamstress, answering service, insurance agency, Architect and most recently the Durbin Learning just to name a few. We purchased the home in early 2017 with the goal in mind to refurbish the home and take it back to its former glory days.
