A total aquatic-style wonderland, the Whale House in Santa Barbara comes with a lap pool that flows into a secret grotto.
Scott Gibson for Sotheby’s International Realty
Positioned on just over half an acre, the 2,606-square-foot house isn’t actually near the water. Instead, it’s surrounded by oak and sycamore trees. Made from waving cedar shingles, the exterior, oddly enough, has a rigid, skin-like texture to it. At the same time, the quirky facade blends right into the forested landscape.
To enter the three-story abode, you step right into the whale’s mouth. Once inside what’s supposed to resemble the head, you’ll uncover a super cool spiral staircase, an elevator shaft covered in river rocks, and curved walls clad in Venetian plaster. The pièce de résistance is the whopping 270 leaded and stained-glass windows that frame the woods.
Beyond that, the ground floor sports a living room, dining room, and chef’s kitchen where the range is actually carved into a stone wall. Upstairs, you’ll find a spacious primary suite and an additional bedroom on the third level. Elsewhere, a central courtyard complete with a bamboo-lined shower and alfresco ding area is meant to represent the belly of the beast. Even cooler, a 75-foot lapEnough blubbering. Just get your checkbook ready.
