Despite being built in 1978, this property has undergone an extensive and high-quality modern renovation, likely within the last 5 years, as evidenced by the description and images. The kitchen features high-end stainless steel appliances, modern cabinetry, granite/quartz countertops, and contemporary lighting. All bathrooms are 'spa-like' with updated vanities, modern tile work (subway, patterned), glass-enclosed showers, and soaking tubs, appearing virtually new. The property boasts new carpeting, light-colored wide plank hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, and central air conditioning, all meeting current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance.
The property offers stunning panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and city skyline from multiple vantage points, significantly enhancing its appeal.
Perched in the desirable Riviera/Upper hills of Santa Barbara, the home provides both tranquility and convenient access, being just minutes from downtown's amenities.
Featuring a modern aesthetic with high-end finishes, a chef's kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and updated spa-like bathrooms, the home exudes luxury.
Built in 1978, while extensively updated, the underlying structure and some systems may be older, potentially requiring future maintenance or upgrades not covered by recent renovations.
The terraced garden and orchard, while beautiful, will likely require significant ongoing maintenance and care, which may not appeal to all luxury buyers seeking a low-maintenance lifestyle.
The high list price of $3.795 million places this property in a very exclusive market segment, naturally limiting the number of potential buyers.
