Stunning Panoramic Views From Contemporary Riviera Home!

Santa Barbara, California, United States

With an artistic eye and flair for fine design, the home's sleek, modern aesthetic melds comfortably with this beautifully appointed three-story residence. The approach to the house is via Alameda Padre Serra, the rim drive that lines the foothills, offering scenery like none other. brbrThe gently curving staircase of Saltillo tile connects all three levels. The foyer, the two-car garage for off-street parking, and a workshop with a powder bath are on entry-level. brbrThe second floor is where gatherings, meals, movie nights, and fireside chats evolve. A lovely living room, stone fireplace, and television on one level overlook the dining room and kitchen a few steps below. Plenty of firewood is provided for cooler winter nights. The round metal dining table under the vaulted ceiling adds the perfect punctuation to these elegant yet relaxing rooms. brbrThe kitchen is chic and modern, with a 5-burner stove, great glassware, and unique Asian-inspired serving pieces. Even doing the dishes will be pure pleasure, with the bay window framing the ocean and the Channel Island view. Sets of sliding doors allow immediate access to the dining terrace just outside, with a barbecue and undeniably scenic seascape in the distance. Just breathe; the cool coastal air is so invigorating. brbrAlso on the second level is a great office with French doors opening to the views, a guest bedroom with a queen-size bed, a laundry room, and a hall bathroom with a glass and artisanal tile shower. brbrIt's time to see the 'pièce de résistance, the magnificent primary suite on the top floor. The show's star is, without doubt, the epic, vast views, but moreover, the intrinsic sense of calm here is palpable. The king-size bed below a soaring ceiling with a European air conditioning unit is holding center stage. Automatic shades on remote are the ultimate luxury when sleep beckons or the sunrise awaits.brbrWhen it is time to get outside, the terraced backyard is a lush and friendly garden space with peaks of the ocean. Adirondack chairs invite a quiet moment to share a yummy glass of award-winning Santa Barbara County wine (Maybe Melville, Margerum, or Lafond) or a hearty cup of locally roasted coffee. (You must visit Dune, Handlebar, or Santa Barbara Roasting Company!) There is so much to explore, and everything is close in this coastal town, so hop in the car and head downtownbrbrAnd, of course, heart-pumping walks on the hillside roads are a must! Nearby Franceschi Park is a suitable endpoint to see the magnificent sunsets or head downhill to explore neighborhoods on foot and check out life as locals know it. City & Sea is an ideal, restorative and lovely place to call home for a while. Bienvenue! Welcome!

Walk to the Beach & Funk Zone: Hot Tub, Fire Pit

Santa Barbara, California, United States

Three blocks from the beach and a short walk to the Funk Zone, this Santa Barbara home keeps the best of the city close and gives you somewhere worth coming back to at the end of the day. brbrA private backyard with a hot tub, fire pit, and outdoor bar that feels more like a courtyard than a yard. Three king bedrooms, a detached game room for downtime, and the kind of kitchen that earns its counter space. Garage parking and an EV charger round out the amenities. Santa Barbara without the compromise.brbrSanta Barbara's best stretch sits between the beach and the Funk Zone, where tasting rooms, coffee shops, and restaurants line the streets in converted warehouses.brbrThis home is right in the middle of it — three blocks from the sand, steps from downtown, close enough that a quick walk replaces every drive.brbrBut the backyard is what changes the trip.brbrA private hot tub sits under open sky.brbrA fire pit anchors the far end. And between them, an outdoor bar and BBQ setup that turns a simple evening in into the kind of night nobody wants to end.brbrIt's the space where mornings start slow with coffee and evenings stretch out long after the kids are in bed.brbrInside, the main living area is open and bright with hardwood floors and enough room for everyone to spread out without stepping on each other.brbrThe kitchen is fully upgraded — not a rental kitchen that makes you wish you'd just gone out, but one where cooking actually sounds good.brbrThree bedrooms, each with a king bed and real privacy. The primary suite has its own bathroom.brbrA fourth bedroom in the detached game room has a queen Murphy bed that pulls down when the group is bigger.brbrAnd a sofa bed in the living room means eight people sleep comfortably without anyone drawing the short straw.brbrThe game room is its own world. Pool table, games, and a door that closes — which matters when the adults want quiet, and the kids don't.brbrA crib is already set up in the first bedroom. An EV charger is on-site.brbrGarage parking means no circling the block. These aren't highlights — they're the details that remove friction and let the trip just be the trip.brbrWalk to East Beach in the morning. Wine tasting in the Funk Zone in the afternoon.brbrDinner downtown or grilled in the backyard — either way, nobody's getting in a car.brbrAnd when the day winds down, the hot tub and fire pit are waiting.brbrSome places are close to everything, but don't give you a reason to stay in.brbrThis one does both.
