Property Description

This is the Santa Barbara Spanish cottage you have been waiting for! This charming home sits well off the street with an elegant curb appeal, a spacious front yard, manicured landscaping, mature trees, and a stamped concrete driveway. As you walk up to the front door you will enjoy wrought iron accents, white stucco walls, Saltillo tile steps, tasteful awnings, and a red tile roof. This homeowner has a pride-of-ownership that we rarely see in this day and age. She has meticulously cared for and improved the property throughout her many years of ownership. The front door leads directly into the living space with gleaming hardwood floors and several French windows overlooking the front courtyard. The living room has high exposed beam ceilings and a cozy open-hearth fireplace with tile accents and a gas starter. The remodeled kitchen is very functional with decorative tile counters, cabinet organizers, a pull-out pantry, display cabinet, a Miele dishwasher, a new stainless steel GE range, and a new GE microwave. The main level also features a versatile laundry and storage room that is cleverly hidden behind a bookshelf door. There is a stacked Maytag washer/dryer set and several cabinets. Heading upstairs, the oak staircase has double wrought iron handrails lit by a chandelier. The upstairs features an oversized primary bedroom, a second bedroom, and an updated full bath. The light-filled primary bedroom is incredibly spacious, private, and has several floor-to-ceiling windows to enjoy garden views of the backyard. Direct attic access within this bedroom provides additional storage. Depending on your needs, the second bedroom works wonderfully as a home office. It currently has a built-in wrap around desk with lots of counter space and cabinetry. The backyard is very private and completely fenced in. There is a large covered flagstone patio, a tranquil fountain, and an open sitting area. The patio connects to a redwood walkway and deck, great for outdoor entertaining. There is a winding pathway that leads up the hillside to enjoy city, mountain, and greenbelt views. Your own private canyon retreat! Additional features include: central heating, central A/C, 100-amp electric panel, earthquake retrofitting, and the sewer lateral has been replaced. There is an attached 1-car garage with ample loft-style storage. This home is centrally located in the Westside neighborhood between The Mesa and Downtown Santa Barbara. The back entrance to Elings Park, a 230-acre private non-profit park open to the public, is just a 1/4 mile away! The Mesa amenities are just a "hop, skip, and jump" from the home which include the Mesa Shopping Center, Lazy Acres Natural Market, Shoreline Park, Leadbetter Beach, and Arroyo Burro (dog-friendly) Beach.
