    What's special

    Gas fireplaceOutdoor fireplaceGourmet kitchenTranquil wall fountainDedicated home officeHand-laid saltillo tile floorsFormal dining area
    Set within one of Santa Barbara's most coveted hillside enclaves, this exceptional contemporary Spanish residence presents a rare opportunity for those who value beauty, privacy, and a home that truly supports both living and working at the highest level. The architecture achieves a refined balance between warmth and sophistication. Vaulted ceilings and an open, light-filled floor plan create a natural sense of ease and flow. Hand-laid Saltillo tile floors and a gas fireplace introduce a richness of character that feels both timeless and inviting. Every element has been thoughtfully considered, resulting in a home that feels as intentional as it is effortless. At the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen opens seamlessly to both the breakfast nook and formal dining area, creating a space that adapts beautifully to any occasion. Whether preparing a quiet meal or hosting a memorable gathering, it performs with equal grace. Offered fully furnished, the home has been carefully designed to accommodate a range of lifestyles. The primary suite serves as a serene retreat, while a dedicated home office provides a quiet and professional workspace. A separate media and lounge room adds flexibility, offering a comfortable setting for relaxation or entertainment. The layout is both intuitive and highly livable. And then, the views. Expansive panoramas of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands reveal themselves from multiple vantage points throughout the home. These are not simply views, but an ever-present backdrop that enhances daily living, from morning light to evening sunset. Outdoor spaces extend the experience even further. A series of terraces and seating areas invite lingering afternoons and relaxed evenings in the coastal air. A tranquil wall fountain adds a sense of calm, while the outdoor fireplace, built-in barbecue, and pizza oven create an environment perfectly suited for both entertaining and unwinding. Available May 1 through December 31, this is a rare opportunity to reside in a truly exceptional, fully furnished home in one of California's most desirable coastal settings. Utilities are included in the rent. No pets please.
