Amazing Ocean, Island, and City Views From Contemporary Home!

Santa Barbara, California, United States

Island View Escapebr brHigh above the city, with the most coveted views in Santa Barbara, Island View Escape lives up to its name. br brPerched on the hillside of what has become known as “America's Riviera,” the home's sweeping views are truly spectacular; the majestic Channel Islands add the dramatic punctuation to the vast panorama. The tri-level remodeled home is cheerful and bright, taking full advantage of the hillside location. On frequently clear days, it really does feel as though one could see forever!br brThe main living spaces flow openly thanks to volume ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and walls of picture windows and doors that create unobstructed access to coastline and city views. As the prime perch for everything from sunrise yoga to after-hours stargazing, the wrap-around deck is complete with gas barbecue, dining for six, and a corner sitting area, all suspended above the iconic red-tile roofs of Santa Barbara.brbrIn the living room, relax in front of the stone fireplace, pop some popcorn for movie night, or sink into the sectional sofa for an afternoon catnap. With inclusive, open design, cooking in the well-equipped kitchen is pure pleasure with an abundance of appliances and granite counter space, as well as a large center island with seating. Whether choosing to dine in the sun-drenched dining room or on the deck, the setting is striking. A guest bedroom with a queen-size bed and a hall bathroom with a tub and shower complete the entry-level floor plan. Air conditioning is not often needed in the mild climate here, but it is a nice amenity to have on warmer days.br brThe private master suite with a comfortable king-size bed and walk-in closet is located up a short flight of stairs off the living room. Sitting in the sunny bay window is an open invitation for reflection, or step outside to the private view deck with chaise lounges. A spacious dual walk-in shower and a luxurious jetted tub in the bay window with automatic shades anchors the spa-like master bathroom. br brThe third bedroom with a queen-size bed is accessed by way of an amusing opening bookcase that reveals a staircase to this cheerful hidden hideaway. Consistent with the scenic theme of the home, there are windows on three sides to frame the ocean and cityscape below. br brWhen ready to venture out, drive along Alameda Padre Serra, the rim drive that winds along the Riviera. The scenic drive leads east towards Montecito, or west towards historic Old Mission Santa Barbara. Bring a picnic and stop by to smell the hundreds of blooms in the award-winning rose gardens. Hillside hikes to hidden parks and exploring the eclectic neighborhoods of the city are only the beginning of the myriad of activities worth choosing. However, if “getting away from it all” is high on the agenda, the ideal way to escape a busy life is to kick back, relax, and enjoy an extended restorative stay at Island View Escape. Appreciate Santa Barbara living at its best…you may never leave! br br(Please note: As is the case with many Riviera properties, the driveway is steep, though the garage offers a level landing for one low profile vehicle. With the safety of little ones in mind, the deck's design may not be suitable for small children to be left unattended.)

Spacious Mesa Home with Great Outdoor Patio and Ocean Views!

Santa Barbara, California, United States

With ocean and mountain views, the home is located on a quiet street in a friendly neighborhood where locals walk, hike, bike, and live, yet it is so close to all that visitors will want to explore.

Though the home flows beautifully from one space to another as one residence, there is also the option of closing off one area from another to create two separate living spaces, each with its own entrance. brbrEnter the home from the front terrace, where a sectional sofa, barbecue, and a dining table for eight set the scene for entertaining, or just hanging out. Below is a hidden garden with a fire pit as well. Inside, the mood is comfortable and inviting. The unique pendant fixtures, distressed oak floors, and Spanish tile accents throughout the home bring out the intended Santa Barbara style with a unique point of view. brbrThe kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, colorful dishes, and plenty of serving pieces. It is anchored by a Viking gas range that sits beneath an inlaid tile mosaic backsplash, continuing the Spanish theme found throughout. Have a casual lunch at the granite peninsula or whip up a batch of salsa and guacamole with fresh ingredients from the Mesa Produce open-air market nearby.

This is also where the units can be divided for more autonomy. A banquette in a sunny corner of this efficient kitchen looks out to the raised backyard with turf and cafe table seating. brbrUp the Spanish tile staircase, the primary suite, with a king-size bed, resides solely on the second floor. It is a striking, bright, and private escape. More Fleetwood, stacking doors open to a lengthy terrace with alluring ocean views. Such a lovely place from sunrise to sunset making this a spectacular and perch to begin and end the day. In split-level design, several steps lead down to the sunken primary bathroom.
