About This Home
As of December 2020Breathtaking Panoramic Top-of-the-World views with Santa Barbara, the Coastline, the Harbor, the Ocean, and the Channel Islands below! Privately located above Mission Canyon in a upscale neighborhood surrounded by custom built homes. Just a few minutes from downtown, this secluded sanctuary sits on almost two acres, and offers peaceful and serene living away from the crowds below. With a flowing and architecturally interesting split level floor plan framing the views, this abode seems worlds away from the cares of the outside world. Bi-level main living area with hardwood floors throughout, tastefully upgraded kitchen and baths, and a spacious master bedroom with generous ensuite master bathroom all grace this residence. As the owners are retiring and relocating to the east coast, this is an excellent opportunity to own a home that is in move-in condition and located in a such a unique and beautiful setting.
Amenities include Wolf cooktop, two fireplaces (one is two-sided), newer ceiling fans, central heating and air conditioning, mature landscaping with timed zoned irrigation, and hot tub ready pad. Ample newer deck space surrounds the downstairs living area, extending the living space to the outside and making the spectacular views that much more immediate. Located in the desirable Roosevelt Elementary School District. This Home is truly a Rare and Pleasant Retreat with the City of Santa Barbara at Your Feet!
