About This Home

As of November 2024

Experience breathtaking, panoramic ocean and island views from this charming single-level, 3-bedroom home in Santa Barbara's coveted East Mesa Coastal Zone. Whether you're seeking the perfect vacation home with short-term rental potential or looking to downsize into an incredible ocean view residence, this property delivers. Step inside, and you're instantly greeted by the sparkling blue Pacific, beautifully framed by the Channel Islands, visible from multiple rooms. With its ideal south-facing orientation, you'll enjoy sunlight all day and unobstructed views from the living room, dining area, kitchen, and backyard. Relax and watch as sailboats, yachts, and even kite surfers glide across the horizon. As original owners, this property has been enjoyed by the same family for over 70 years! Remodeled in 2021 the kitchen features new cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a chic tile backsplash. The primary bathroom was simultaneously updated using the same materials for a consistent flow throughout the home. Additionally, a very convenient powder bathroom was installed near the living area, ideal for guests to use when entertaining. The owners took it a step further during this remodel and improved the home's infrastructure with updated plumbing, sewer, heating, and electrical. There is an attached 2-car garage for parking or storage plus space for two cars on the driveway. Other notable features include: tankless water heater, in-home washer/dryer set, central forced air heating, recessed lighting, and gorgeous white oak hardwood floors. Located in the desired Washington Elementary School District and less than 1 mile from Lazy Acres Natural Market, Lighthouse Coffee, Shoreline Park, and Leadbetter Beach.
