Description

Set along scenic Sycamore Canyon Road, this nearly 0.8-acre property offers a pleasant surprise the moment you arrive. While the location provides effortless access to town, the home itself feels remarkably peaceful. Nestled among mature trees with a seasonal creek winding through the property, the sounds of nature take center stage, with only the occasional passing car heard beyond the creek. Inside the home, the quiet setting creates a true sense of retreat, and the generous driveway provides ample space to comfortably turn around on the property before exiting. Just five minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and seven minutes from the beach, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy the convenience of city living with the feeling of a private rural escape. Surrounded by towering trees and lush

Supplements: canyon landscape, the property offers a lifestyle that's increasingly difficult to find so close to town. The main residence features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,559 square feet of thoughtfully updated living space with granite countertops, tile flooring, dual-pane windows, air conditioning, and a spacious sunroom that invites the outdoors in. An expansive wraparound deck creates the perfect setting for entertaining, morning coffee, or relaxing beneath the stars, while a fire pit, pergola, and flourishing orchard of avocado, lemon, orange, peach, plum, and apple trees complete the exceptional outdoor experience. A detached studio ADU with a full bathroom, kitchen, laundry, mini-split heating and cooling, and EV charging capability offers incredible flexibility for guests, extended family, a private office, or rental income. Combined, the property offers approximately 1,959 square feet of living space with a total of 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Thoughtfully upgraded for modern living, recent improvements include a new roof, a 9.2 kW solar system with 23 panels, LG backup battery storage, upgraded electrical panels, exterior paint, a security camera system, new fencing, and a certified engineered perimeter foundation. Rarely does a property combine usable acreage, canyon serenity, sustainable living, income potential, and such close proximity to Santa Barbara's vibrant downtown and coastline. This is more than a home--it's a private retreat that offers the tranquility of country living without giving up the convenience of the city.
