About This Home
Elegance Amidst Natural Beauty in Mission Canyon.
Nestled in the serene hills of Mission Canyon, this custom residence by renowned architect James Gray LeCron offers refined living in a breathtaking setting. Featuring 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and a separate studio with private entrance, full kitchen, bath and private deck, this 2-story home blends craftsmanship and thoughtful design with modern comfort. Soaring 27-foot cathedral ceilings and solid white oak hardwood floors set the stage in the dramatic living room accented by a cozy stone fireplace, while floor-to-ceiling Kolbe Weathershield dual-pane windows flood the space with natural light. The chef's kitchen is appointed with granite countertops, Sub-Zero, Jenn-Aire, LG and Dacor appliances, custom solid hardwood cabinetry, and a center island with breakfast bar. Enjoy casual dining in the breakfast area or host guests in the formal dining room.
Upstairs, the primary suite is a tranquil escape with ocean and island peeks, mountain views, walk-in closets, and an elegant en-suite with tumbled Italian marble. A convenient laundry chute leads to the spacious laundry room below. All ground-floor rooms open to the expansive patio or wraparound deck creating a true indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The lushly-landscaped, park-like backyard is designed for entertaining, complete with dining and sitting areas, BBQ and bar, fire pit, fruit trees, and manicured lawn. Additional features include a brick paver driveway, automated irrigation system, new south fence, and the privacy of a secluded yet convenient location just 11 minutes from downtown. Experience the magic of Santa Barbara living - sun-drenched patios, lush gardens, and the effortless rhythm of an indoor-outdoor lifestyle you'll never want to leave.
