·················
Bedrooms: Three.
Bathrooms: Three and a half.

Price: $4.25 million.
Last sold: December 2009 for $4.175 million
Listing agent: Ken Switzer of Berkshire Hathaway.

El Andaluz was built in 2009, with four apartments on the second floor and three on the third floor; at 3,422 square feet, unit G is the largest of those three penthouses. The layout is appealing, with common areas to the left as you enter (from the private elevator servicing your two-car garage), the master suite to the right, and a two-bedroom guest suite in the middle. A few items worth pointing out: two offices, 14-foot ceilings in some areas, radiant floor heat throughout, and myriad signature Shelton details. There’s no air conditioning, but it’s addable.
Of course, $4.25 million is a lot for an apartment in Santa Barbara, even a special one such as this. In its favor is enough outdoor space—nearly 2,000 square feet total, half of which is a private roof deck outfitted for entertaining—to compensate for the lack of a yard. Surprisingly, the asking price is only $75,000 more than the property sold for back in 2009.
