About this home
Privately set on approximately .86 acres in the coveted Park Highlands enclave, this custom-built estate captures sweeping ocean views stretching toward University of California, Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Airport, offering an exceptional blend of serenity, scale, and coastal elegance.
Spanning five bedrooms and four-and-a-half baths, the residence is defined by soaring vaulted wood ceilings, rich hardwood floors, and authentic Saltillo tile that lend warmth and architectural character throughout. Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate gatherings, the home features a dramatic living room anchored by a striking stone fireplace, an inviting family room with its own fireplace, and a refined den ideal for a private office or formal dining room.
The gourmet kitchen -- complete with dual islands, an expansive pantry, and generous prep space -- serves as the heart of the home, offering tremendous potential to be reimagined into a truly show-stopping culinary space.
The primary suite provides a peaceful sanctuary with its own fireplace, while spacious secondary bedrooms offer comfort and flexibility for family or guests.
Outdoors, extensive decking invites you to take in the ocean vistas and coastal breezes. A covered patio between the residence and the three-car garage creates a charming, protected entertaining area. The nearly one-acre parcel offers remarkable privacy and presents excellent ADU potential.
While the home would benefit from thoughtful updating, it presents a rare opportunity to personalize and elevate a well-built custom residence in one of the area's most desirable settings -- combining view, scale, and location in a truly compelling offering.
Moments from shopping, parks, and everyday conveniences, this is an exceptional canvas ready for its next chapter....
