About This Home

As of March 2026

An exceptional value in Santa Barbara, offering the space, flexibility, and neighborhood feel that are increasingly hard to find. Set in a welcoming community where kids play outside and neighbors stop to chat, this expansive Spanish style 5 bed, 6 1/2 bath home plus office/playroom which could be a 6th bedroom spans more than 3,700 square feet. Every bedroom features an ensuite bath, and the thoughtfully designed floor plan easily supports a dual living arrangement. The open concept living space allows the living room, dining area, and kitchen to flow seamlessly together, creating a comfortable and connected environment for both daily life and gatherings. The downstairs studio includes a fireplace and wet bar, while two kitchens and two laundry areas, one upstairs and one downstairs, a remarkable versatility for extended family, guests, or work from home needs.
Quality finishes are found throughout, including wood floors, granite countertops, and dual glazed windows. Fenced back and side yards provide ideal space for entertaining, play, and everyday outdoor living. Located within the coveted Vieja Valley School attendance area, the home enjoys close proximity to popular biking and hiking trails along with convenient shopping and dining at La Cumbre Plaza. Adding to the appeal, the Modoc Multi Use Path scheduled for completion this spring will offer a separated bike and pedestrian route connecting the Obern Trail with existing Las Positas and Modoc paths, forming part of an eight mile Class I corridor stretching from Isla Vista through Goleta to Arroyo Burro Beach and the City of Santa Barbara.
