This 3-bedroom, 2-bath home provides panoramic ocean, island and city views from its prime location in Santa Barbara’s coveted Riviera neighborhood. The house sits on over 1/3 of an acre on a quiet cul-de-sac, offering wonderful outdoor space for entertaining. The home was designed to capture the incredible views from every room of the house, while maintaining a feeling of privacy and seclusion. This spacious and private two-story home offers nearly 2000 SF of living space and was artfully designed by the famous Santa Barbara architect Lutah Maria Riggs (known for designing the Santa Barbara Lobero Theatre and the SB Botanic Gardens). A flagstone path leads you to the front door, and upon entering you are immediately awed by arguably some of the best ocean views in all of Santa Barbara. The living room offers vaulted ceilings, gleaming wood floors, a fireplace, and walls of glass framing the incredible views. Five sets of French doors throughout the home allow for a seamless flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces, making this home perfect both for entertaining and for enjoying the afternoon ocean breezes. Throughout the bright home, glass doors and windows let in plenty of natural light and views of the beautifully landscaped areas surrounding the home. The entire second story is comprised of the Master Suite, offering a large bedroom with a private view balcony, a generous bathroom with dual sinks, soaking tub and walk-in shower, as well as a spacious walk-in closet. Unquestionably the star attraction of this great property is the expansive flagstone patio where one is sure to spend much of their time. A newer covered pergola with custom roman shade offers a perfect space for outdoor dining. Stairs from this large view patio lead down to walking trails that meander through the mature oak trees and natural landscaping offering a taste of Montecito on the Riviera. Santa Barbara's famed amenities and attractions are only minutes away, including the Riviera Theatre and the beautifully renovated El Encanto Hotel (both 1 mile away), the historic Santa Barbara Mission and Rose Gardens and the Santa Barbara County Bowl, (2 miles away), and the heart of downtown as well as several great beaches (3 miles). This home is in the popular Roosevelt School district (also just 2 miles away). Come experience the incredible views, privacy and convenience that are combined in this one extraordinary property!

RS-15
One-Family Residence Zone
This zone is intended to provide areas for single-unit housing on individual lots at appropriate low densities of one unit per legal lot with allowances for an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Two-Unit Residential Development when certain standards are met. Designators (e.g. -25, -15) refer to minimum lot size in thousands of square ft or, in the case of RS-1A, acres. The regulations for the RS Zone are intended to limit activities which would be inharmonious with or injurious to the preservation and character of a residential environment. Nonresidential uses are limited to those that support daily life of neighborhoods and complement surrounding residential development. Nonresidential uses are strictly limited in order to mitigate impacts associated with nonresidential uses such as: traffic, increased parking demand, light, glare, and noise.
Permitted uses

Agriculture
Livestock production
