About This Home

As of October 2023

This hidden coastal gem located on the Mesa epitomizes the essence of relaxed California living. Nestled in a charming neighborhood, the front yard is beautifully landscaped with natural grasses, bougainvillea, palm trees, and offers ocean views from various areas of the property.
Inside, the home boasts a sun-drenched living area with open, inviting spaces connecting the living room, dining area, and kitchen. The kitchen, a culinary haven, features stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a wine refrigerator and a breakfast bar for casual dining. Three generously sized bedrooms each have their own unique charm, with the Primary suite offering a private en-suite bathroom and large walk-in closet. One of the standout features is the home's excellent walkability for an easy stroll to local shopping, parks and the beach, making everyday convenience a reality.

The outdoor oasis features a lush lawn, a well-tended garden, and a spacious patio, perfect for al fresco dining or relaxation. Shoreline Park is a short walk away, offering breathtaking Pacific views and outdoor activities, while the beach beckons for swimming, surfing, and sunbathing.

Practicality is also addressed with a two-car garage and ample storage throughout the home, along with a large laundry area. This Mesa sanctuary embodies the laid-back Santa Barbara lifestyle, inviting residents to embrace the beauty of coastal living and enjoy the convenience of nearby shopping and the beach. Whether you're a beach enthusiast, nature lover, or simply seeking the Santa Barbara dream, this home offers the opportunity to create your own coastal paradise in the heart of the Mesa.
