Property Description
Hidden between Downtown Santa Barbara and the ocean, on almost 3/4 acre at the end of a cul de sac, sits something genuinely rare. The moment you walk through the home and see the backyard, it stops you in your tracks. A sprawling oasis anchored by mature oak trees and wrapped in the kind of privacy that takes decades to grow into. The single-level home was remodeled in 2023, and the care taken shows in every room. Vaulted ceilings and an easy flow between inside and out do the rest, leading naturally to a backyard that was made for long afternoons and good company. The kitchen is made for serious cooks and entertainers, outfitted with custom cabinetry, new countertops and appliances, a dedicated bar area, and a window that looks out over the backyard. The primary suite is spacious and well-appointed, with a beautifully finished ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, so the morning routine can start outside if the mood strikes. The outdoor spaces have been designed with intention; distinct areas for dining, lounging, and wandering, all connected by a landscape that feels natural rather than manicured. Citrus, apple, plum, apricot, pomegranate, and fig fill the mini orchard. Raised vegetable beds round out a backyard that genuinely earns the word oasis. For a property this private, the location is almost surprising. State Street, the Farmers Market, the beach, and the harbor are all within a few minutes; the kind of proximity that makes daily life genuinely easy. The sanctuary waiting at the end of the driveway, though, makes it easy to forget any of that is nearby. Land this size, this usable, this private, and this close to downtown Santa Barbara does not come available often. The owners called it home for 40 years. That says everything.
