About This Home

As of May 2018

Enjoy panoramic ocean and island views from this custom-built Italian Mediterranean home boasting expansive rooms and an inviting terrace for alfresco entertaining. The large Kitchen-Family Room is the heart of the home, divided by a wide island, a warming wood-burning fireplace, massive wood beams and a pair of French doors leading to the walled terrace and ocean views. An adjacent formal Dining Room is supported by wood beams and served by a large built-in buffet and glass-front china cabinets. The wood beams continue through the Living Room as they do throughout the home and lend elegance to the extra tall ceiling and panoramic ocean views through a wall of French doors. There is a first floor Bedroom Suite and Guest Powder Room in addition to a pair of Family Bedrooms upstairs sharing a bath and each with wrought-iron balconies and panoramic ocean and island views. The generous upstairs Master Suite includes a sitting area bounded by a fireplace, French doors leading to a breakfast balcony enjoying panoramic ocean and island views, a large in suite master bath with separate glass shower, a separate water closet and a wonderfully large dressing room. A two-car garage with workbench and storage cabinets completes this custom package.

Located in the exclusive Mission Canyon area of Santa Barbara, the homeowners enjoy an easy hike to the famous Inspiration Point in our local foothills along with close proximity to the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, the Santa Barbara Tennis Club, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and the famous Santa Barbara Mission.
