In the heart of Bel Air Knolls, this 3-bedroom 2 -bath home offers privacy, space, and mountain views on over half an acre surrounded by mature oaks. Just minutes from the beach and the scenic bike path that leads to Hendry's Beach and downtown Santa Barbara, this location combines peaceful living with everyday convenience. The interior has been freshly painted and the main living area features vaulted 12 foot ceilings, tall windows, and a fireplace, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere. The formal dining room enjoys sliding French doors to the rear deck and yard. Just off the living room space, the primary bedroom includes its own fireplace, direct access to the rear deck and yard, and a spacious en-suite bathroom. Downstairs, two generously sized bedrooms, a recently remodeled bathroom, and a laundry room provide flexible space for guests, a home office, or family needs. A large two car garage adds plenty of storage. At the top of the ½ acre lot, a charming pergola offers sweeping views across Elings Park to the ocean and Channel Islands, an ideal spot to relax, entertain, enjoy a sunset, or access the 230 Acres of Elings Park. This home was thoughtfully updated approximately 6 years ago with improvements including kitchen appliances, AC system, interior and exterior lighting, exterior paint, and a paver driveway with updated entry. A very special property in one of Santa Barbara's most convenient and desirable neighborhoods.
