About This Home

As of March 2025

Charming single-level, 2 bedroom, 2 bath Mesa cottage offers south-facing ocean views just one block off Shoreline Drive. Located in the prime Marine Terrace neighborhood, this home combines the convenience of Shoreline Park proximity without the traffic of Shoreline Drive.
Entering the home, you are greeted by a bright open living area that features redone hardwood floors, a gas fireplace, and two sets of sliding doors that lead to a spacious wood deck & pergola complemented by a beautifully landscaped backyard. The remodeled kitchen is beautifully appointed with modern white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and black granite counters. Enjoy a quaint dining area and bar stool seating off the kitchen for entertaining. Both bedrooms provide privacy and direct outdoor access, enhancing the indoor-outdoor lifestyle of the Mesa. Both bathrooms are upgraded as well.
This property is further enhanced by a large, usable backyard and an oversized two-car garage, making it ideal for immediate enjoyment. In the long term, imagine the potential for adding a second story to capture spectacular south facing ocean, island, and harbor views.
Located just minutes from Mesa shopping, restaurants, Shoreline Park, and West Beach, this is a rare opportunity to own a sweet cottage style home in one of Santa Barbara's most beloved neighborhoods. Stake your claim here.
