About This Home
Tucked away in a quiet Santa Barbara enclave, this private bungalow offers a rare combination of garden seclusion and walkable convenience. Behind its charming exterior is a home that lives larger than expected. Light-filled living spaces flow easily from the inviting living room into a well-appointed kitchen with dining area and charming built-in banquette seating. The layout is efficient yet comfortable, offering a natural sense of openness without sacrificing intimacy. The spacious primary suite enjoys garden outlooks and a serene atmosphere, complemented by an en-suite bath. The second bedroom is ideal for guests, office use, or flexible lifestyle needs, with a nearby full bath offering convenience and privacy. A versatile additional flex space provides options for a studio, exercise room, or creative workspace--enhancing the home's livability. Outdoors, the home truly distinguishes itself: a private, beautifully landscaped garden with multiple seating areas, mature plantings, and a tranquil sense of escape rarely found this close to town. It's a setting that feels both secluded and connected as you are just minutes from beaches, parks, downtown & the iconic SB Mission.
