About This Home
As of February 2018An exquisite four-acre bluff delivers a fully transformed, resort-inspired lifestyle positioned amidst boundless views of ocean and coast. Masterfully renovated with the finest materials and select finishes, this remarkable residence is a chic, sprawling haven for all ages, complete with three dedicated observation areas, park-like playground, and steps down to a private beach. Gated and concealed from the street, the private grounds include a large motor court with an abundance of parking, meandering pathways, and sprawling lawns. Double glass-paned steel front doors open to a gallery-style foyer with stone floors and paneled vaulted ceilings as architectural lines converge to frame a preview of what's to come. The vast double-height living room showcases the magnificence of the Pacific through a series of towering, floor-to-ceiling windows aside a travertine fireplace and custom staircase that elegantly swirls to the second level. An adjacent formal dining room is complete with art wall and tray ceiling for added drama and dimension. The family room has pocket doors and a massive picture window to highlight the home's natural setting. The chef's kitchen is equipped with state-of-the-art Miele appliances, beautiful center prep island, farm sink, and ocean-facing breakfast ledge. Nearby, a wet bar seats four and includes a pass-through to the outdoor entertaining spaces. Powder rooms are bespoke and curated. Upstairs is a pajama room, the ocean a centerpiece. The sumptuous primary wing includes a wonderful parlor, coffered ceilings, fireplace, and serene spa-inspired bathroom with dual-sink stone vanity, oversized glass shower, soaking tub, and intricate mosaic wall. There is also a media/gaming room adjacent to the secondary bedrooms, a gym with steam room, a wine cellar, mud room, and large theatre with billiards and card area. Outside, enjoy a premium resort experience with numerous patios, pool, spa, and full-size basketball/tennis court. For the young at heart, a playground is equipped with a sandbox, swings, jungle gym, slide, and in-ground trampoline! There is even an outdoor kitchen equipped with a restaurant-grade pizza oven for serving a large number of guests. Enjoy magical sunsets from the lounging cabana or gather around the fire pit for evening conversations oceanside. Welcome to this idyllic slice of paradise, sited just moments to Santa Barbara's historic downtown, numerous wineries and tasting rooms, country clubs, golf courses, the airport, and the boundless beauty of the California coast.
