In our beautiful Southern California coastal enclave of Santa Barbara, there are a handful of properties of highly prominent significance, and rarely will any come up for sale. Now one of these treasured properties is for sale for the first time in its 85-year history, the McCormick House. Built in 1940 by the celebrated philanthropist Katherine McCormick and donated in 1968 to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, the large structure and grounds of the McCormick House offer an estate buyer or an investor a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity to acquire a generational property in the heart of the city.
After nearly 50 years of use as an art education center by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and previously as the private residence of Katherine McCormick, a new owner has a blank slate to re-imagine the approximately 12,500 square-foot structure (per plans), on a 0.72-acre parcel. The A++ location is 3 blocks to downtown Santa Barbara and to the center of the renowned Theater/Arts District; the property also sits as the entry gateway to the prestigious Upper East neighborhood, and is across the street from the gorgeous Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens.
