1302 E Cota Street

Perched in Santa Barbara’s Lower Riviera, this quintessential 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom California cottage pairs timeless character with ocean, island, and Riviera views. Natural light highlights original hardwood floors, coved ceilings, a wood-burning brick fireplace, a coffered dining ceiling, built-ins, and vintage lighting. The kitchen features original tile work, cabinetry, a porcelain sink, and a restored O’Keefe and Merritt range. Outside, mature hedges frame a private front garden, while an elevated deck overlooks the ocean. The enclosed grounds offer lush gardens, fruit trees, and room for pets or play. A gated driveway provides parking for 4+ cars, plus a 2-car garage with laundry, a utility sink, a workbench, shelving, and storage. Fresh exterior paint completes this home just minutes from East Beach and Downtown.
