About This Home

Imagine sitting on your back deck, sipping on your favorite beverage, listening to the waves breaking in the distance knowing some people drive so they can access the beach using the Mesa Lane Steps and park further away than the front door.

Welcome to the Edge of America—Literally.

Nestled on the ocean bluff of Santa Barbara's sought-after Mesa, this unicorn of a property offers something almost no one else can: untouched charm in a world of overdeveloped ambition. Tucked away on (if not the, very close to) the very last street in the USA—or first, if you're the optimistic, manifest destiny type—this 912 sq ft (according to Public Records) beach bungalow is a throwback to simpler times with just the right amount of modern polish. Details That Matter (and Impress Your Friends):
" 2 bed, 1 bath, lovingly and mostly refurbished (because perfection is boring)
" Updated main systemsso you won't have to worry about the stuff you can't see
" Generous off-street parking because you deserve convenience
90 seconds to the ocean via the Mesa Lane stairs (yes, the owners timed itno, they weren't running)
" Surrounded by Larger & More Expensive homes... who will one day tell their friends, "We knew them when..."

One of the few remaining lots that hasn't been developed within an inch of its life, this home whispers beachside serenity instead of screaming statusthough make no mistake, this address has both.

Whether you're looking for a weekend escape, a surf-happy sanctuary, or your own slice of California coastline with legacy-level potential, this is it.
