About This Home
As of June 2023Welcome to 1513 Portesuello Avenue, a stunning Mediterranean-style home located in the highly sought-after Bel Air Knolls neighborhood of Santa Barbara, California. This single-level home boasts 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, spanning over 2,200 square feet of turnkey living. As you step into the home, you'll be greeted by a bright and airy atmosphere, accentuated by vaulted ceilings, numerous windows, and European white oak engineered hardwood floors that flow throughout. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's delight, complete with stainless steel appliances, quartzite counters, large center island, and ample cabinetry for storage. There is a SubZero Fridge, Bosch Dishwasher, and a KitchenAid built-in stove/oven. The kitchen seamlessly blends into the family room, making it a wonderful space to hang out and entertain. The floor plan flows beautifully with bedrooms along one wing, living space along the other, a lovely primary suite extended off the back, and a well placed powder room for guests near the living area. The primary suite is a peaceful retreat overlooking the backyard, offering a large walk-in closet, walk-in shower, and dual-sinks. Step outside to the spacious and private backyard area, where you'll find an open patio, lush lawn, and hot tub - perfect for hosting summer barbecues or simply relaxing and enjoying the gorgeous Santa Barbara weather. Other notable features of this exceptional property include two cozy fireplaces, recessed lighting, and Carrara herringbone marble floors in each bathroom. The attached 2-car garage provides convenient parking with direct access into the home, laundry area, and ample loft-style storage space. With its prime location in Bel Air Knolls, this home offers easy access to the recently completed bike and walking path on Las Positas that leads directly to Arroyo Burro (dog-friendly) Beach and the Boathouse Restaurant, both of which are only 1.5 mi away. You can indulge in delicious waterfront dining without ever having to get in your car. Elings Park, a 230-acre private non-profit park open to the public, is also just a 1/2 mile away! Lazy Acres Organic Market, Vons Grocery store, local coffee, and restaurants can be found on the Mesa just a "hop, skip, and jump" from home.
