About This Home

As of September 2022

This A-plus location is set near the edge of Painted Cave, overlooking Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands. Originally built in 1935, this cabin has been lovingly upgraded and expanded while keeping its charm. A great room combines living, dining, and kitchen functions with excellent circulation, so the cook is never cut off from the social action. The kitchen is fantastic and both baths have been redone. The primary bedroom is on its own floor for isolation and privacy. Room for a hot tub or ADU set amongst boulders and oak trees. This is a high-quality home in an eclectic mountain community of 100 homes, 15 minutes outside of SB near the top of San Marcos Pass. Mt. View school. The adjacent lot is available MLS 22-2414 for $225,000.
