Sooooo many intriguing listings came across my desk this week. Here are details of just a few. The house above is likely to look familiar to any self-respecting Santa Barbaran. Anyone who’s taken in a show at the Santa Barbara Bowl will recognize the iconic 1926 cottage situated at 1116 North Milpas Street, right next door to our favorite local outdoor music venue. I’m told that the home, designed by architect Anna Louise Murphy Vhay , was likely constructed using fallen bricks from the 1925 earthquake.

While we all recognize its adorable exterior, what you can’t see from the street are the cottage’s hardwood floors, fireplace, built-ins, and other period details. The home is offered for sale by the team at Marsha Kotlyar Estate Group for $1,450,000. Here’s your chance to own a piece of local history — and a front-row seat to the excitement of every Bowl season.
