About this home

Tucked at the end of a tranquil cul-de-sac and located mere steps from the Las Positas bike path and Hendry's Beach, this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers an attractive blend of comfort, design, and access to Santa Barbara's best. Nearly every surface and system has been improved or replaced, including new flooring, paint and wall treatments, remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, new HVAC (including air conditioning), a new 200-amp panel, refreshed landscaping, and more -- creating a turnkey home that feels both refined and effortlessly livable. Inside, the residence exudes a designer sensibility, with curated details that include a wood-beamed living room anchored by a striking new plaster fireplace, shiplap accent walls, modern lighting, and durable white oak flooring. A dedicated office with custom built-in shelving adds functionality and charm. Outside, the sun-filled wrap-around yard offers a private oasis ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying Santa Barbara's year-round climate. Fruit trees -- including avocado, lemon, mandarin orange, plum, tangerine, & Mexican lime -- create a true "garden-to-table" experience in the comfort of your own home. A new storage shed is discreetly tucked away, while the fenced yard provides space for children or pets to roam freely. A two-car garage is complemented by an additional gated parking area, perfect for a small boat, camper, or extra vehicles. Surrounded by oak-studded hillside views, this inviting home enjoys close proximity to trails, parks, open space, and the beach. With nearby shopping and dining on both Upper State Street and the Mesa, the location offers a rare balance of relaxed refinement, outdoor recreation, and seamless day-to-day living.

Modest Lot Size for Price Point: At 8,276 sqft, the lot, while well-utilized, is not expansive, which might not meet the expectations of some buyers seeking larger grounds at a nearly $2 million price point in Santa Barbara.
Limited View Type: The property offers pleasant 'oak-studded hillside views' but lacks the highly coveted panoramic ocean or city views that often characterize premium Santa Barbara properties, potentially limiting its appeal to a segment of the luxury market.
