About 395 Loma Media Road
Positioned in the sought-after Santa Barbara Riviera, this iconic 1960s architectural home was designed by Santa Barbara architect Frank D. Robinson, whose work celebrated open floor plans, natural materials, and a graceful connection between indoors and out. Thoughtfully composed for its hillside setting, the home offers a rare blend of architectural character, warmth, and personal history. The main living space is defined by a remarkable hyperbolic paraboloid roof, soaring volume, exposed wood, and tall vertical windows that draw the eye upward and outward toward the landscape.The living, dining, and kitchen areas enjoy expansive views of Santa Barbara, the coastline, harbor, and Channel Islands, while generous decks extending from the living room and kitchen create an effortless connection to the outdoors. Cherished by the same family for decades, the property reflects a remarkable sense of care and intention. Beautiful green ash trees have matured into a natural canopy surrounding the home, adding privacy, shade, and a peaceful sense of enclosure. Their presence complements the architecture, creating a setting that feels both protected and alive. The home offers a primary suite and two additional bedrooms, each with sliding glass doors opening to a full-length balcony that extends the living experience outdoors while capturing the home's remarkable coastal setting. The two bathrooms feature original handmade Indonesian tile, adding warmth, texture, and character while preserving an authentic architectural detail. An office with built-ins provides a functional retreat, while the art studio and adjacent living space create an additional gathering area with direct access to an expansive deck overlooking the Riviera. A true expression of California modernism, this distinctive home offers exceptional architectural form, period details, mature landscaping, and unforgettable views. It is a property with presence, history, and heart, ready for its next chapter.
