887 Cheltenham Rd Santa Barbara, CA 93105

This stylish and expansive 4 BR / 4.5 BA home offers a versatile layout with luxury appointments and stunning city and sunset views. Located just minutes from Downtown Santa Barbara, the 3300 sqft home is set back from the street, providing an extremely quiet and tranquil location. On a $ per sq ft basis, this home is an exceptional value in the Santa Barbara real estate market. From the moment you enter, you know that this home is constructed with superb attention to detail and an artistic eye. Travertine tile covers the floor throughout much of the home, including the kitchen and all five bathrooms. The cabinetry throughout the home is all matching teak, with quality hardware, including the kitchen cabinets, the bathroom vanities and the built-in wardrobes in the guest bedrooms. Most rooms have substantial view windows to let in natural light and the exceptional vistas. From the entry foyer you can look out over the living room, the central focus of the house, taking in the fireplace with travertine mantel and the wall of glass through which to enjoy the incredible city and sunset views. Sliding doors lead out to a generous patio, which can be set for al fresco dining, or sipping wine while enjoying the scenery.

The large gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream with an abundance of cabinets (to rival any home in SB!) and plenty of workspace on the expansive granite counters. Stainless steel appliances combine with a breakfast bar and wet bar with display hutch and prep sink to complete the gourmet kitchen. The kitchen cabinets extend across the entire back wall of the house, functioning as a spectacular built-in pantry.

The master bedroom is positioned to display sunsets while you recline in bed. The expansive en suite bathroom features a soaking tub and a large walk-in shower, as well as dual sinks set in a large vanity with plenty of storage. His and Hers walk-in closets eliminate the need to battle over closet space, and both offer custom organizers.

On the lower level are two identical spacious bedroom suites, each with a walk-in closet, built-in wardrobe and a full bath with tub/shower combo. The two are separated by an area perfect for a sitting room and with access to a covered patio presenting the same incredible city and sunset views as the upper balcony. Alternatively, for dual living, a new buyer could explore converting the entire lower level into a guest apartment with access from Glen Albyn below for a completely separate living space.

The home's central staircase was thoughtfully designed to leave room to add an elevator.. The curved copper roof is a gorgeous architectural feature, accentuating the clean modern lines of the home and adds extra protection from fire, along with the fire sprinklers integrated throughout the home. The yard is landscaped with low maintenance, drought tolerant plants to blend into the surrounding natural beauty. The finished 2-car garage has high ceilings and extra space for storage or a workbench. There is additional storage under the home accessed through the utility room and yet more outdoor storage under the driveway that is both out of sight and out of the elements--perfect for tools or outdoor toys like surfboards and bikes.

This home is being sold for nearly $175 LESS than the average price/sqft in Mission Canyon Heights. This is a rare, quality built modern home at an unbeatable price!
