Designed for local artist and teacher Howard Warshaw in the 1960’s, architect Robert Garland created a home in Northern California’s Sea Ranch community spirit: dwellings with exuberant, light-filled overhead spaces, classic vertical board siding and slant-roof silhouette. Influenced by the revival of the American vernacular architecture in wood, and inspired by the Bay Area designers whose approach united the emerging field of ecology with an inventive architecture, this rare property evokes a connection to nature and the sought after indoor/outdoor lifestyle Santa Barbara’s temperate coastal climate presents. Giving the rustic tradition a new twist, the four bedroom three and one half bath home’s interior woodwork is refined and painted white. Original oak floors, brick patios and high-pitched exposed beamed ceilings with clerestory windows have been lovingly preserved. Charming kitchen/ family room and formal living/dining room feature fireplaces, built-ins, and walls of glass with patio access and
courtyard garden views. Climb a spiral staircase to the catwalk, which offers peaks at the ocean. A spacious master bedroom suite opens to a private deck with gated steps to the grounds.
Two additional bedrooms share an adjacent bath, and the larger opens onto a sundeck with garden views. In 1989, architect Andy Neumann designed an addition, which included connecting the existing bedrooms and the 477 square foot, 2-car garage to the main residence with wide tiled hallways, and adding a large laundry room, and a guest bedroom loft suite. Soaring ceilings, clean lines, the dance of light on natural surfaces, the 3,581 square foot interior of this comfortably luxurious home is complimented by peaceful exterior features and surrounding gardens on .83 acres, including a motor court accessed by two private lanes, an inviting entry terrace, serene central courtyard, separate 22’x41’ art studio with half bath, entertainment patios and sun decks, gravel pathways, natural boulders, mature oak trees, fruit trees and lawn area with fresh sea air and mountain views. An artist’s dream, this casually elegant home near the Polo Fields in Carpinteria is convenient to the beach, hiking trails, shops, and restaurants in Summerland and Montecito.
