About This Home
As of January 2025This is the Santa Barbara Spanish home you have been waiting for! This charming home sits well off the street with an elegant curb appeal, manicured landscaping, mature trees, and a stamped concrete driveway lined with landscape lighting. A beautiful front wall and hedges offer privacy in the newly landscaped front yard. As you walk up to the front door you will enjoy wrought iron accents, white stucco walls, Saltillo tile steps, tasteful awnings, and a red tile roof. The homeowners have a pride-of-ownership that we rarely see in this day and age. They have meticulously cared for and improved the property. The front door leads directly into the living space with gleaming hardwood floors and several French windows overlooking the front courtyard. The living room has high exposed beam ceilings and a cozy open-hearth fireplace with tile accents and a gas starter. The kitchen is very functional with cabinet organizers, a pull-out pantry, a display cabinet, a Miele dishwasher, and a newer stainless-steel range, microwave and refrigerator, all complimented by decorative tile counters and backsplashes. Additional storage for Costco/pantry items are hidden away on the first floor for convenient access. Heading upstairs, the oak staircase has double wrought iron handrails lit by a stylish chandelier. The upstairs features a newly created primary en-suite as well as 2 additional bedrooms and an additional bathroom. The light-filled primary bedroom is incredibly spacious, private, and has several floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy garden views of the backyard. Two separate direct attic accesses within this bedroom provide ample amounts of additional storage for the owners. Depending on your needs, the 3rd bedroom could work as a cozy den or family room if desired. The backyard is very private and completely fenced in. In addition to a detached Spanish-styled shed/office space, there is a flagstone patio that connects to a redwood walkway and balcony, great for outdoor entertaining and enjoying the Santa Barbara weather. There is a winding pathway that leads up the hillside to enjoy city, mountain, and greenbelt views. Your own private canyon retreat! Additional features include: central heating, central A/C, 100-amp electric panel, earthquake retrofitting, and the sewer lateral has been replaced. There is an attached 1-car garage with ample loft-style storage. This home is centrally located in the Alta Mesa neighborhood between The Mesa and Downtown Santa Barbara. The back entrance to Elings Park, a 230-acre private non-profit park open to the public, is just a 1/4 mile away! The Mesa amenities are just a "hop, skip, and jump" from the home which include the Mesa Shopping Center, Lazy Acres Natural Market, Shoreline Park, Leadbetter Beach, and Arroyo Burro (dog-friendly) Beach.
