Description

Welcome to effortless coastal living in El Escorial, one of Santa Barbara's most sought-after beach communities. Perfectly positioned just one block from East Beach, this beautifully maintained ground-floor end unit offers the ideal combination of privacy, convenience, and the quintessential Santa Barbara lifestyle. Offered for the first time in nearly 30 years, this lovingly cared-for two-bedroom, two-bath residence has been thoughtfully maintained by its original owner. Rich hardwood flooring, a functional single-level layout, and abundant natural light create a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Supplements: The desirable south-facing patio provides a sunny outdoor retreat for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or dining al fresco, while the end-unit location offers added privacy and easy access within the community. Beyond your front door, enjoy resort-style amenities including a pool, spa, tennis courts, fitness center, clubhouse, and beautifully landscaped grounds--all within the security of a gated community. The location is truly exceptional. Stroll to East Beach for sunrise walks, hop on the Cabrillo Bike Path for miles of scenic coastline, or spend the day exploring nearby Chase Palm Park, the Santa Barbara Zoo, the Funk Zone, Stearns Wharf, and the vibrant restaurants, cafés, and shops that define Santa Barbara's coveted beachside lifestyle. Whether you're searching for a full-time residence, a lock-and-leave second home, or the perfect place to downsize without compromise, this rare El Escorial offering delivers comfort, convenience, and an unbeatable coastal setting.
