About This Home

As of November 2020

This charming beach cottage on the much-desired Mesa neighborhood of Santa Barbara boasts 3 bedrooms, 1 and a half baths, a 2 car garage, and a professional artist's studio in the back—perfect for a home office or conversion into an ADU. The property nears the ocean-front Douglas Family Preserve and sits on a quiet cul-de-sac. Sitting in an ideal position near shopping centers, the Mesa Lane beach steps, Hendy's Beach, and Elings Park, this property is not one to miss! New flooring and fresh interior paint have just been added, as well as the installation of new kitchen countertops and bathroom vanities. With its close proximity to nature trails and fully fenced backyard, this house would be great for pet owners.
