The home’s open layout blends European sensibility with Santa Barbara’s signature indoor-outdoor living, seamlessly connecting the main living, kitchen, and dining spacesappointed with high-end appliancesto multiple view decks, ideal for year-round entertaining, al fresco dining, and relaxed lounging. Arrival is marked by a distinctive entry deck designed around two graceful oak trees, leading to a calming water fountain. Inside, expansive windows, beamed ceilings, and a striking stone fireplace frame mountain views that serve as living artwork. The private primary suite occupies its own level, offering a sitting area, fireplace, generous closet, flexible office space, and a secluded deck that heightens the sense of retreat. Its spa-like bath features a soaking tub with views to the natural surroundings. Freshly painted inside and out, with a new roof and gutters, the residence offers peace of mind along with timeless style. Bordered by Franceschi and Parma Parks, the home is immersed in nature with world-class hiking and cycling just outside the door. Below the residence, the gently sloping acre invites possibilities: a pool, orchard, enhanced landscaping, or an ADU with existing design plans and site approvals, an opportunity to expand this mid-century gem into a multi-generational enclave or guest retreat.
