Pool Plans Available! Now refreshed with brand-new, brighter and natural wool, hypoallergenic carpeting, this serene Montecito sanctuary sits in the coveted Cold Spring Elementary School District and captures sweeping panoramic views of the ocean, islands, harbor, city lights, and mountains. Perched on one point zero six acres with exceptional privacy, the four-bedroom, three-bath residence (+ family room) offers two thousand eight hundred eighty-six square feet of refined living, three ceramic gas log fireplaces, and an oversized two-car garage with built-in storage and a workbench. Built in 2003 on a terraced site with a bedrock foundation, the home was thoughtfully designed to embrace Santa Barbara’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle—all without train or freeway noise. Grand Entry & Main Level

A custom mahogany entry door with leaded glass welcomes you into a tiled foyer with intricate inlay details. Arched passages open to a bright living room with high ceilings and French doors framing mesmerizing ocean-and-island views. The adjacent family room invites gathering around a two-sided fireplace shared with the formal dining room, where harbor views and French doors lead to a wraparound patio and lawn, perfect for effortless entertaining.

The light-filled kitchen features natural maple cabinetry, granite tile counters, and newer appliances, with an iconic viewpoint from the sink window across ocean, city, and mountains. For buyers seeking a more open-concept great room feel, the seller consulted a structural engineer and contractor regarding wall removal options in the kitchen/dining/family room area. This great room can range in size from four hundred sixty-five square feet to an impressive six hundred seventy-four square feet; a dramatic transformation for entertaining and daily living. Completing the main level: a flexible fourth bedroom with exterior access; a stylish hall bathroom; and a spacious laundry room with abundant storage and a tub sink.
