About This Home
Perched on Santa Barbara's Riviera, this refined single-level residence enjoys commanding views that sweep across the city, the Harbor, and the Channel Islands beyond. The setting is defined by light and perspective—sunrises that gently illuminate the coastline and sunsets that settle into glowing evening skies. At the center of the home, the living room unfolds as a welcoming gathering space, anchored by a fireplace and accented by travertine floors, custom built-in cabinetry, and tailored bookcases. Sliding glass doors extend the room to both the front and rear patios, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. The rear patio provides a serene, garden-oriented escape, while the covered front patio serves as an inviting extension of the main living area. Designed for everyday enjoyment and entertaining alike, the front patio features its own fireplace and wet bar, making it ideal for morning coffee, afternoon gatherings, or relaxed evenings. The living and dining areas flow naturally from this central space, creating a cohesive layout that feels open yet inviting. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with rich granite countertops, reverse osmosis filtration, and solar-coated windows that enhance comfort and light throughout the kitchen and dining areas. The primary suite and guest bedroom are beautifully light-filled and thoughtfully positioned, each complemented by updated bathrooms finished in a modern aesthetic. Mature landscaping and terraced garden areas surround the home, offering privacy and a lush, calming backdrop. A rare combination of single-level living, thoughtful updates, and timeless Riviera appeal, this residence reflects a lifestyle of ease, elegance, and enduring quality.
