Description

Once in a lifetime does such a rare and unique property becomes available to purchase. This home fulfills many wants and desires. It's hard to put all that it offers into words but, let us start with the obvious, views, views and more views. You will never tire of spending time in the living room which feels more like an exclusive lounge with its floor to ceiling windows. During the day natural light pours into the room so while looking out you will be mesmerized by the crisp views of the Riviera and the Mission over the sea of beautiful treetops. Amazingly, this same place offers an entirely different experience in the evening as it becomes romantic and charming with the sparkling of lights across downtown Santa Barbara extending up the Riviera.

Supplements: The entire home has been very well taken care of and offers well thought out charming and functional features such as a built-in loft bed and over 250 square feet of additional space that includes an enclosed artist studio with views. Moving to the yard all you will say is "wow where does it end!" The yard starts with ample flat space you access through the bonus space on the first floor. There is new Trex Deck, a built-in sitting wall, and gas barbeque area. A spa sits right next to this cozy yard space which you will spend endless hours enjoying. From there you go up!!! As amazing as the views are out the front of the home, you will be astonished once you start up the back side of this 1/3 an acre yard making your way back through your private walking paths. This private nature trail winds back and forth up your property all the way back to your very own private orchard with numerous trees that supply Lemon, Lime, Naval & Valencia Oranges, Satsuma Plum, and Peach. Path lighting and irrigation are all in place. Again the same owner has lived here since 1984 and this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own close to downtown with so many amenities usually found in a large estate. At the price offered, you can afford to make this your new home!
