About This Home
Perched atop a flat knoll in Santa Barbara's coveted Mesa neighborhood, this single-level luxury residence offers breathtaking 270-degree views of the ocean, islands, coastline, and mountains. Completely turnkey, the home has just undergone a top-to-bottom renovation featuring all new kitchen, baths, wide-plank flooring, doors, lighting, heating, AC, windows, and much more. The sparkling pool was reimagined and fully remodeled with new surfacing, equipment, and an electric cover. Lush new landscaping, lawn, and patios create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The owner spared no expense with a state-of-the-art Tesla solar roof with a Powerwall battery backup. With panoramic views from nearly every window, this is Mesa living at its finest. Close to grocery, beaches, and parks!
