About This Home

As of July 2025

This private oceanfront retreat is perched on the bluff of Santa Barbara's coveted West Mesa neighborhood. Ideally positioned to capture uninterrupted views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands the single-level residence features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms across 1,826 sq. ft. of living space. This property offers you a front row seat to experience the magic of floating above the sea while on land! You are immersed into the California coastal lifestyle with the tranquil sound of waves crashing below and a crisp refreshing ocean breeze. The south-facing backyard is great for entertaining and features a large paver patio, an expansive viewing deck, and a spacious lawn. Inside, the home combines classic 1950's charm with modern upgrades including vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, granite countertops, and updated appliances. While the residence offers ample opportunity for the next owner to bring their own vision to life, major recent improvements include a new roof, upgraded electrical, front yard fencing, termite repairs, exterior paint, and a new sewer lateral. This property is located just a few blocks from the Mesa Lane beach access, the Douglas Family Preserve, Lazy Acres Market, restaurants, and coffee.
