The spacious primary bedroom features a large bathroom suite, walk-in closet, sliding glass doors to a front balcony with mountain views, and a rear sundeck for soaking up the Santa Barbara sunshine.

Charles Vaughan, a Massachusetts surgeon who served in the Civil War, had the home built for himself and his wife after moving to Santa Barbara to retire from his medical practice.
