About This Home

As of August 2024

Located on a peaceful cul-de-sac on the American Riviera, this coastal ''treehouse'' retreat offers unrivaled serenity & sweeping ocean, island & city views from every room. Solid flagstone steps built into the hillside pave the way to a magical hideaway that epitomizes the Santa Barbara lifestyle.
When you step into the 2BR/1.5BA main house, you are transported to a world of warmth and timeless elegance with the exquisite hand-hewn Douglas Fir ceilings, which present unique character, unparalleled quality with rustic charm yet refined sophistication. The vaulted ceilings & large cross beams in the great room seamlessly weave the kitchen & living spaces together which create an open & airy ambiance & provide a breathtaking focal point & cozy haven to watch the gorgeous Santa Barbara sunsets in front of the crackling gas & wood-burning fireplace.

The Guest Cottage + 1BA sits privately with its own entrance and patio space and offers a multitude of uses - guest quarters, fitness or art studio, separate rental unit, etc.

With high quality craftsmanship and modern comforts, this home cultivates a sense of harmony with the delightful nature that surrounds it. Additional highlights include a two-car garage, air conditioning, newer dual-pane metal clad doors and windows throughout, refinished hardwood floors, new paint & mature, low-maintenance & fully irrigated landscaping.

Perched high on the hillside for maximum privacy, this sweet home is also just minutes away from downtown Santa Barbara, a coastline of beautiful beaches, and fabulous restaurants & shopping.
