About This Home

As of October 2021

Located mere steps from Hendry's Beach and Douglas Preserve, this light-and-bright 3 bed/3 bath home has been substantially reimagined, offering ample space inside and out for relaxing, entertaining, and enjoying the best of Santa Barbara. The nearly half-acre parcel features gorgeous, recently upgraded designer landscaping—complete with assorted fruit trees, lush grass, flag stone and gravel walking paths, a lotus pond, bubbling fountains, multiple patio areas with seating, and a beautiful magnolia tree. Recent interior improvements include new flooring, window treatments, paint, fixtures, and other miscellaneous cosmetic upgrades. Hardwood flooring throughout the home and vaulted ceilings in the entry and upstairs bedrooms create an airy and open atmosphere. Enjoy the fireplace in the cozy living room, prepare gourmet meals in the spacious kitchen, or open the French doors in the breakfast area and feel the ocean breeze! Upstairs, the primary bedroom is a serene retreat offering a fireplace, custom built-in shelving and storage, a spacious bathroom suite, and even glimpses of the ocean.

This home offers serene and truly beautiful indoor and outdoor living in rarely available proximity to the beach, the Mesa, and the best of Santa Barbara.
