About this home
A hand-tiled cottage on the Santa Barbara Mesa, near the bluffs.
Blue and orange hand-painted tiles cover the front of this 1931 cottage, a few blocks from the Mesa bluffs and Shoreline Park. The kitchen was redone with white cabinets, marble counters and warm wood shelving. Both bedrooms catch the ocean breeze, and the back patio is made for slow breakfasts. A one-of-a-kind facade that neighbors stop to photograph.
