Description

Newly Priced at 2,680,000 - Lower Riviera Living, Reimagined. Some homes ask you to imagine the life you could live. This one simply delivers it. Perched on Santa Barbara's coveted Lower Riviera, this 1941 Alex d'Alfonso original frames the kind of views people move to California for -- sweeping ocean, island, and downtown panoramas that shift with the light and stay with you long after you've left. Walls of glass draw the outside in, and more than 1,000 square feet of terraces invite you to linger over morning coffee, evening wine, or long summer dinners in the open air.

Supplements: The craftsmanship is exceptional. Completely updated while honoring d'Alfonso's timeless architectural pedigree, the home moves effortlessly between warmth and refinement -- beautiful oak floors, Caesarstone countertops, a gas fireplace, contemporary lighting, and luxury appliances throughout. Every detail has been thoughtfully considered. Every surface, impeccably maintained. Step outside and the lifestyle deepens: terraced gardens, mature fruit trees, a fire pit for cool coastal evenings, and a hot tub set within grounds that feel more like a private park than a backyard. A fully appointed lower-level unit -- its own living / dining / kitchen, bedroom, full bath, flexible additional room, and laundry -- offers gracious options for guests, family, or income, without sacrificing an ounce of privacy. This is the quintessential Santa Barbara life, delivered turn-key and ready for summer. Now at a compelling new price. Extensive upgrade and maintenance list - including a new roof - available upon request.
