MARINE TERRACE OCEANFRONT COTTAGE
Offered for the first time since 1971, this classic Santa Barbara cottage sits along the coveted Shoreline Drive bluff-top, showcasing sweeping ocean and island views and delightful coastal breezes.
Opposite Shoreline Park, this serene retreat is just moments away from one of Santa Barbara's most cherished oceanfront green spaces, perfect for scenic picnics & sunset views.
Thoughtfully updated yet brimming with potential, the home provides approximately 1,544 square feet of living space on a 6,098 square foot lot. Featuring 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, wood floors, a cozy fireplace, and ample natural light. The spacious front and rear gardens, framed by mature trees, offer plenty of private outdoor space to enjoy the soothing seaside lifestyle. Located in the Washington School District, additional highlights include a garage, leased solar panels, a new roof installed in 2023, and a French drain system. With inspections available and the possible potential for upward expansion or further enhancements, this home represents a rare opportunity to enjoy or develop one of the last untouched oceanfront parcels - a place to reimagine, relax, and savor the best of Santa Barbara Coastal Living.
