Perfectly located just half a block from Hendry's Beach, the renowned seaside Boathouse restaurant, and the scenic 70-acre Douglas Preserve, this gated and private 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom Spanish-style home is a quintessential Santa Barbara retreat. Set on an expansive .42-acre lot, the property features exceptional landscaping. Tucked behind mature hedging, the backyard unfolds as a lush sanctuary with native plants, fruit trees, winding garden paths, two outdoor dining areas, tranquil water features, a lotus pond, and a gentle creek along the border.
This home is in the Coastal Zone which allows short-term vacation rentals. Estimates are
1200 to 1800 dollars per night depending on the month. Vaulted ceilings create an airy welcome upon entry, leading to a spacious formal living room anchored by a prominent fireplace and mantle. The open kitchen overlooks the backyard and flows seamlessly into the adjoining family room. With abundant storage and prep space, plus direct access to the formal dining room, casual breakfast area, and French doors to the outdoors, the kitchen is ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. A dedicated office with garden views and direct access to the attached two-car garage adds flexibility and functionality.
Upstairs, the primary suite offers vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, custom built-in shelving, and a spacious ensuite bathroom. Two additional guest bedrooms are filled with natural light, offering ample storage and views of the garden or mountains.
With inviting interiors and exceptional outdoor spaces, this home is perfectly designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The best the area has to offer, this is a rare opportunity to own a serene coastal property in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods.
