More Insights

Built in 1992 (34 years old).
Condition: This custom-built home from 1992 is exceptionally well-maintained with quality craftsmanship, wide-plank hardwood flooring, and significant upcoming updates like a new roof and interior/exterior paint in April 2025. However, the kitchen features black appliances and a rustic aesthetic with butcher-block counters and brick detailing that, while clean, appears dated. The bathrooms, particularly with their blue tiled showers/tubs and wood vanities, are also clean but reflect a style from the early 90s. While functional and in good condition, these key areas would require cosmetic updates to meet current buyer preferences, aligning with the 'Fair' category where major components are functional but show signs of being outdated.

Custom built in 1992, this 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom residence spans just over 3,000 square feet and sits on a full acre of land in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable neighborhoods. The home's design blends modern convenience with European Craftsman charm —highlighted by soaring vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a stunning river rock fireplace anchoring the main living space. The open-concept kitchen and dining area are wrapped in custom cabinetry, butcher-block counters, and brick detailing, with abundant windows capturing natural light and the serene landscape beyond. New roof & interior & exterior paint April 2025! Owned solar panels for recirculating hot water. The floor plan is exceptionally functional, offering seamless flow between indoor and outdoor living. The primary suite is located upstairs for added privacy and features its own view deck, walk-in closet, and a spacious bath with a soaking tub and ocean-facing window. Two additional bedrooms are located downstairs, ideal for family, guests, or a home office setup. Outdoor spaces are equally inviting, with patios off both the living and dining areas perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation while enjoying the surrounding coastal scenery. The landscaped grounds include drought-tolerant plantings, stone pathways, and ample room for further personalization. Located in the highly sought-after Mountain View Elementary attendance area, this exceptional property showcases wide-plank hardwood flooring, refined woodwork, and high-end finishes throughout. The oversized garage offers ample additional storage and two electric car charging stations, adding to the home's overall functionality. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered, blending quality craftsmanship with everyday comfort offering a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home in a truly desirable location.
