About This Home

As of April 2025

Seller will carry up to 60 LTV first TD @ interest of 5. Seller very amenable to other creative financing situation. Call agent for details. This unique three-level Spanish contemporary home, designed by Don Pederson, offers marvelous panoramic views of the ocean, islands, city, and mountains. The main house spans approximately 3,399 ± sq. ft., featuring 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. There is also a private 1-bed, 1-bath suite on the lower level at roughly 1,123 ± sq. ft., as well as a detached 1-bed, 1-bath studio of about 544 sq. ft., both equipped with a fireplace and, of course, breathtaking views. Nearly every room is designed to capture the spectacular scenery, with expansive wraparound decks on all three levels enhancing the indoor-outdoor living experience. The elegant open-concept living room boasts soaring cathedral ceilings, graceful arches, a grand gas-burning fireplace, and sliding glass doors that open to mesmerizing ocean and mountain vistas. The primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a skylight, fireplace, walk-in closet, spa-like ensuite bath, and more views! The gourmet kitchen features custom wood cabinetry, a center island, granite countertops, and a charming bay window. Beautiful wood floors were installed just eight months ago and the tiled roof was expertly redone only four months ago. Set on a serene cul-de-sac on approximately 0.6 ± acres, the property is surrounded by lush gardens and avocado trees. A 504 ± sq. ft. two-car garage with a workshop area adds convenience, while the coveted location perfectly positioned between Montecito and Santa Barbara offers an exceptional blend of privacy, elegance, and accessibility.
