About This Home
As of September 2024A surprising treasure on Santa Barbara's Lower Riviera, 967 Garcia Road provides a rare combination of unobstructed ocean and city views, entry-level easy living, and a magical over-sized gently-sloping backyard offering every possibility of entertaining, gardening and relaxation. The nearly 1/3-acre parcel is well-positioned to maximize views with the house at the top, while leaving most of the property as a private oasis ideal for adding a pool and/or a new Accessory Dwelling Unit. 3-4 beds/office are on the entry level with a spacious covered ocean-view deck, plus a separate-entry full living suite below. Recent upgrades incl. refinished oak hardwood floors, new windows, new electrical, new sewer lateral. Off-the-charts upside and fantastic value as-is under 3 million for A+ views!
