Imagine hearing the Mission Bells from your home and a feeling of complete solitude while being just minutes to everything Santa Barbara has to offer.
Set back far off the street and on a rarely available cul-de-sac, this architect designed 3 bedroom, 2.5-bathroom, Craftsman-style home offers 2,864 square feet of living area and a large 0.38-acre lot with ample space for entertaining or a pool. The home's interiors are as homey as they are spacious, with high-end features such as New England white pine flooring, cozy fireplaces, and vaulted ceilings adding to the inviting ambiance. Sunlight filters in through a wealth of skylights, while window seats, charming and functional built-ins, and air conditioning provide both comfort and convenience. The home was thoughtfully renovated in 2016 to incorporate modern details throughout. The entry level of the home has an open and functional floor plan including 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, half bath, living room with fireplace, formal dining room and a well-appointed chef's kitchen. The kitchen opens to a family room and offers a solid maple butcher-block island with breakfast bar, granite counters, Wolf, Subzero and Miele appliances, wine cooler and walk-in pantry. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite comprises the entire second floor and includes a dressing vanity, multiple closets, fireplace, French doors to a deck overlooking the natural setting and backyard, and an elegant and relaxing bathroom with Walker Zanger Carrara marble flooring, dual vanity, steam shower, and Victoria + Albert soaking tub.
Equally as beautiful are the exterior and park like grounds: a shingled façade, oversized two-car garage with laundry room, North and South facing patios with a hanging porch swing, an al fresco patio, level lawns, manicured hedges, and towering mature oaks compliment the native surroundings. The expansive backyard gardens showcase a meandering stone pathway, an assortment of foliage and blooms including roses, hydrangeas, and fruit bearing orange, apple, lemon, and plum trees. A newer outdoor hot tub provides scenic re-pose as small wildlife and butterflies bring the backdrop to life.
Situated on a quiet, high-end enclave of only seven homes, with decades-long ownership and infrequent turnover, this opportunity does not come often. Not only is the quaint neighborhood a soulful escape, but its location also affords access to the Roosevelt School District, San Roque Town Center, the Santa Barbara Mission, Rose Garden, Natural History Museum, numerous walking paths, and a mere five-minute commute to Santa Barbara's lively downtown scene and beautiful beaches.
