About This Home

As of May 2025

This charming California cottage is nestled in a prime upper downtown Santa Barbara location, offering breathtaking views of the Riviera and the Santa Barbara mountains, creating a serene and picturesque setting. Recently renovated to a deep level, with both incredible style and meticulous attention to detail, you will be very inspired the moment you take in the front steps with beautiful Spanish tile detail. From there, the house is like a warm hug, inviting you onto its entry patio and decks, like a perch looking out over the charming nearby homes and views of the Riviera, then taking you through a gorgeous entry with glass panels and more custom tile, and on into the heart of the home. This home is flooded with natural light and features elegant hardwood floors that flow through the spacious living room, which includes a cozy fireplace, beautiful ceiling detail, and double French doors that lead to a deck with Riviera views. The modern and open-plan kitchen, designed for both functionality and style, boasts stainless steel appliances and beautiful countertops, creating an inviting atmosphere. The primary bedroom, conveniently located on the main level, includes spacious double closets and an en-suite bathroom, complete with dual sinks and a gorgeous slab enhancing the shower, providing a private retreat within the home. Upstairs, the second bedroom offers views and a charming dormer ceiling, making it an enchanting space. This level also includes a fantastic bonus room or office. Outside, the property has gorgeous landscaping. The lovely front yard has been terraced, and the rear yard offers a lawn and is a private oasis to sit and enjoy. The 1-car garage at street level just received a brand new custom garage door. This incredible home seamlessly blends classic Santa Barbara charm with well-done contemporary updates, creating a truly special place to call home in an incredible and convenient location, near the top downtown restaurants, shopping, parks, and so much more!
