About This Home

As of March 2018

This sophisticated and elegantly remodeled 4 bedroom, 3 full bathroom home in an upper San Roque neighborhood brings out the best in Santa Barbara living! This impeccably designed single-level home was taken down to the studs and rebuilt from there with nearly every surface being touched. Step inside and discover a perfect, open floorplan ideal for entertaining and modern living. Gorgeous wide plank, hand carved white Oak floors are throughout this one-of-a-kind home. The stunning kitchen is a chef's dream, with an oversized island accented with timeless pendant lights, all new cabinets, Viking stove and dishwasher, microwave drawer, quartz countertops, and a separate bar seating area off the peninsula. Relax by the fire in the comfortable living room situated immediately off the kitchen, and enjoy a delicious dinner in the light and bright formal dining room, or on the large outside patio. An additional cozy sitting area off the kitchen makes a fantastic reading nook, office, or media lounging space. The sumptuous master suite boasts a walk-in closet, French doors to a separate patio, and spa-like bath with beautifully patterned porcelain tile floors from Spain, huge double sink custom built vanity topped with gorgeous white marble, and custom soaking tub/shower combination. The spacious floorplan features three additional bedrooms, including one smaller master en-suite with sliding doors accessing its private deck that has some ocean and island views.
The fabulous entertaining spaces continue to the back yard, where you will find a large slate patio perfect for al fresco dining, and a terraced yard with meandering walkways and new landscape. Truly every space of this impeccable home has been carefully considered, and is the one you've been waiting for. Complete with distant views towards Goleta Beach, this special opportunity is not to be missed!
