About This Home

As of September 2020

As if found in the pages of Architectural Digest, this absolutely stunning Mid-century Modern home exudes class and mastery of architecture. Walls of windows and glass doors, as well as a dramatic wrap-around veranda extending to a terrace, provide spectacular panoramic ocean, Channel Islands, Santa Barbara Harbor and city vistas. Resting atop a knoll on approximately 1 acre of Santa Barbara's revered Riviera, the property emanates an air of refinement and prestige, inside and out. The home, recently and meticulously updated with designer finishes and amenities, hosts sleek, soothing, minimalist-design bathrooms, recessed lighting, beautifully re-finished floors and a new fireplace. Each of the bedrooms and main living areas showcase a wealth of windows and skylights, thoughtfully placed to capitalize on the exquisite views and natural light. The living room flows seamlessly to the wraparound terrace and an inviting fire pit with built-in seating. From there, the views are simply breathtaking. Lovely landscaping, citrus orchards and mature trees embellish the grounds, providing privacy and tranquility. An uncommon oasis on the Riviera, the property features ample parking and a spacious covered carport. This singular sanctuary is located just moments from the historic Old Mission, Belmond El Encanto and vibrant downtown Santa Barbara.
