About This Home

Set in the prime Santa Barbara Riviera, on a hillside property overlooking the city, harbor, islands and a canyon, the Baker-Spencer House (1963), is a unique mid-century modern home. 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 and outside living The second 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 office. This then flows into a lower artist studio (now family room) with a high pitched ceiling and large North and South facing windows. Double doors open to another panoramic view from an expansive wrap around deck. Other home design details include natural wood finished cabinetry and doors, hardwood floors, stone, Italian and Indonesian tiles, Chambers appliances, 2 fireplaces and a detached 2 car garage with lower storage room. This retro vintage 1960's designer home has never been on the market before, a rare find in today's real estate market.
