Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is in well-maintained, move-in ready condition, but its 1998 construction (approximately 28 years old) and original interior finishes—including the kitchen's cherry-toned cabinetry, granite countertops, and extensive tile flooring—are stylistically outdated. This aligns with the 'fair' criteria for homes built 25 to 40 years ago that have not undergone major recent renovations.
The property offers rare, wire-free views of the ocean, coastline, and islands, maximized by floor-to-ceiling windows and expansive viewing decks throughout the home.
Situated on one of the most coveted streets in the Mesa subdivision, this residence commands a high-prestige position in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable coastal neighborhoods.
The terraced backyard is a masterclass in outdoor living, featuring a built-in BBQ, outdoor fireplace, spa, and mature landscaping that ensures both luxury and privacy.
With a build date of 1998, some interior finishes such as the granite countertops and cabinetry may feel slightly dated to buyers seeking a contemporary or ultra-modern aesthetic.
The terraced nature of the backyard, while beautiful for entertaining, limits the amount of flat, usable lawn space for children or pets.
Positioned on one of the Mesa's most coveted streets, this exceptional residence offers breathtaking, unobstructed ocean, coastline & island views with no wires to interrupt the horizon. The dramatic living room is framed by floor-to-ceiling windows that capture the sweeping panoramic vistas; a fireplace & wet bar enhance the room's warm, with French doors opening to an expansive view deck. The expansive kitchen is both elegant & functional, featuring a large center island with seating & bar sink, rich granite countertops, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, stainless steel oven & microwave, a large pantry, & abundant custom cabinetry. The serene primary suite is a true retreat, showcasing stunning views, a private deck & two generous walk-in closets. The beautifully appointed primary bathroom has stone countertops, a deep soaking tub, & a luxurious walk-in shower, or relax in the hall bathroom's soothing steam shower. Completing the home is a welcoming family room with a cozy fireplace & French doors leading to a terraced backyard oasis. Designed for relaxation & entertaining, the backyard space features a built-in BBQ, refrigerator, fireplace, soothing spa, & lush, mature landscaping that provides both privacy & shade.
