About This Home

As of August 2023

A picture-perfect home on the American Riviera, this impeccably remodeled Santa Barbara haven is a must-see!

With freshly painted neutral tones, designer wallpaper, and brand-new French oak flooring, every inch of the multi-level interior has been meticulously crafted. Serve your guests craft cocktails from the family room's marble-topped bar. Vaulted ceilings soar over the open-concept living room and dining area, anchored by a gorgeous fireplace with a raised quartzite hearth. Walls of expansive glass sliders allow a seamless flow for indoor-outdoor celebrations amid postcard vistas.
Delight the avid cook with the gourmet kitchen's stainless steel appliances, handsome cabinetry, and quartz countertops. Wake up refreshed in the comfortable private retreats, the grandest of which is the primary suite with an exclusive lounging deck overlooking the water. The versatile lower-level bedroom features custom cabinetry and direct access to the patio. Head outside to discover multiple areas where you can soak up the sun and sea breezes. Engage in friendly competition on the Ecolawn sports court, sip a nightcap around the fire pit, or simply enjoy the solitude of the enchanting backyard. Additional inclusions are high-end window treatments and an attached 2-car garage.
