Indoors: A stone path leads to an original wood front door that opens into a foyer with a large stained-glass window.

To the right is a living room with high, beamed ceilings and tall windows looking out on a brick courtyard. Up two steps, through an arched opening, is a dining room with French doors that open to the courtyard.

The dining room connects to a kitchen with colorful tile work, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast area with an original built-in cabinet. Off the kitchen are a full bathroom and a room with Saltillo-tile floors that could be used as a home office or additional sleeping space.

Both bedrooms are off a hall extending from the dining room. The primary bedroom has a decorative fireplace and two sets of glass doors that open to the backyard. The other bedroom, across the hall, is slightly smaller. They share a bathroom with the same floor tiles used at the Four Seasons Resort in Santa Barbara.
