Located at the end of a private street (cul-de-sac, not gated) it is one of 13 homes in this quiet upscale neighborhood of mostly professionals, some retired.

I was born in Switzerland but have lived in Santa Barbara for almost 20 years; now retired, was director of development for several nonprofit agencies. Languages and other cultures are favorites, also speaking German, French and Italian. My partner is a retired architect. We both love to travel and have a great many interests.
