About This Home

Set on the Santa Barbara Riviera, the Baker-Spencer House (1963) is a unique mid-century modern home in perfect vintage condition and has never been sold. This hillside property overlooks the city, harbor, ocean & islands. Architect designed and built by Frank D. Robinson, inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright. This MCM home has spectacular views from every level boasting clean lines and post and beam construction. The extraordinary hyperbolic paraboloid angular roof of rough-cut wood creates a double height open living space, as it alights high above wood clad partition walls. Natural light floods from all angles into the living room, dining and kitchen through walls of glass: large expansive windows, floor to ceiling corner windows and sliding glass doors leading to spacious decks, blurring the lines between in/outside living. The lower level has a primary ensuite and additional two bedrooms with sliding glass doors leading to inspiring panoramic views from a full house length balcony. This level includes the 2nd bathroom, laundry room plus an office. This then flows into a lower artist studio (now family room) with a high pitched ceiling and large windows. Double doors open to another expansive wrap around view deck. Other home design details include natural wood finished cabinetry and doors, hardwood floors, stone, Italian and Indonesian tiles, 2 fireplaces and detached 2 car garage + storage room.
