About This Home
As of August 2024Hear the Waves from this Once in a Lifetime Mesa Opportunity.
Welcome to El Camino De La Luz, known as 'The Street of the Light,' often regarded as the best street on the Mesa. This architect's house, originally built in 1948, is on the market for the second time in 76 years. It has been a cherished family home for 40 years with extensive renovations and expansions over the years, offering a rare opportunity to update and create your own oceanside dream house.
With unobstructed ocean island views and ocean vistas from nearly every window, this home promises serene living. Enjoy ample outdoor decks and patios where you can see and hear the waves from your living room, watch fishing boats head out and the Wet Wednesday weekly sailing regatta. Watch the whales migrate and dolphins play while walking down the rustic trail to the beach via a dedicated pedestrian easement. Lighthouse Creek marks one of the property boundaries, adding to the natural charm.
This 3-bedroom (2 with ensuite full bathrooms) 3-bath home offers +/-2,416 square feet of living space. Enjoy the overwhelming quietude, hear the waves and fall asleep to their rhythmic lullaby. Then wake up to the songs of frogs and take advantage of the 10-minute walk to nearly 20 restaurants, 2 supermarkets, and 2 drugstores. It is a 2-minute walk across the famous El Camino De La Luz Steel Bridge to La Mesa Park, which some say has the best Kid Park in Santa Barbara. El Camino De La Luz is not just a location, it is a lifestyle.
