705 Paseo Del Mar, Santa Barbara |

It is a few weeks after his arrival in Santa Barbara that Robert Barr purchases a beautiful and big house. And not any of them : Eden and Cruz Castillo's neighbouring house which, furthermore, overhangs directly this one.
The inside is very richly decorated : valuable furniture, decoration made by statuettes and by diverse works of art... The atypical ground of the entrance, made by black and white checkerboards stone floor, gives way to a parquet in the lounge. It is in this room that Robert hides Ondine, the sculpture of crystal siren, symbol of his loving past with Eden, which Cruz will break here.
A balcony gives directly, down below the house, onto Eden and Cruz's garden and jacuzzi. It is very apparently the main motivation of Robert's choice for this house, that he will live finally only a few time.
At Robert's departure from Santa Barbara, it is Sasha Schmidt who comes to settle down there. At least until her lover Anthony Tonell confines her there with Mason Capwell, and until she finds then refuge at Julia Wainwright's.
