About This Home

As of August 2022

Welcome to spectacular 2729 Puesta Del Sol, a tranquil hidden gem. This contemporary Spanish home features a remodeled house with an additional 642 +/- sq. ft. in new construction plus a new 599 +/- sq ft. rooftop deck. The .39 +/- acre property with a native California landscape, boasting all the chic and modern-day conveniences you'll desire. The stunning home features 4 bedrooms, 3.5 baths with an open concept living room and dining area that flows into a chef's kitchen.

Two of the four bedrooms and one and a half baths, with its own kitchen and living room is easily separated for dual living if desired, as this space is permitted as an ADU. A detached auxiliary structure, well-suited for an artist studio, allows for additional imagination. The spacious rooftop deck, complete with outside kitchen will make dining al fresco in the trees a one-of-a-kind experience.

The home's finishes were inspired by natural, organic, and artisanal elements, featuring: handmade Moroccan clay tiles, 19th century reclaimed French terracotta tiles, hand-sculpted terracotta lighting fixtures from London, and custom white oak floors throughout. The modern exterior of the home is accented perfectly by the hundred-year-old oaks, mature olive, and fruit trees. The stonework found throughout the property was created to follow the natural contours of the landscape and highlight the greenery of this picture-perfect setting. The land beckons you to enjoy quintessential indoor-outdoor living.



Conveniently located near the Natural History Museum, Santa Barbara Mission, Rocky Nook Park, and Upper State Street, there is much to do. Whether you're indulging in the proximity to the city's offerings, or enjoying the open-air spaces of this property, you're sure to be charmed by the warmth of the home. Enjoy the easy access to the beaches, mountains, and lifestyle that define Santa Barbara living.
