Welcome to 2726 Cuesta Road, a beloved 1927 Spanish Revival home perched atop the Samarkand Hills with the most desirable views of Santa Barbara. Measured at 3267 sq ft +- this three-bedroom, four-bathroom home even has an elevator to access all three levels. As you enter the wood and iron front door, you will stop in your tracks to pan the breathtaking views of the Santa Ynez mountains, Santa Barbara Mission, out to the Channel Islands. Reach back into Santa Barbara history with this home filled with Spanish architectural sophistication, including carved archways, original tile, wooden floors, extensive wrought-iron fixtures, Juliet balconies, and a private courtyard entrance surrounded by a low stucco perimeter wall. You will be captivated by the outstanding balance between indoor and outdoor living spaces, including a private pool and stone decking remodeled in 2015. The original Spanish architecture of this home has been lovingly preserved over the years. The seller spent over $400k on home upgrades, always keeping in mind the historical perspective of this extraordinary home. There is fabulous ornamental ironwork at each turn, including a gorgeous staircase, a covered balcony with intricate patterns on the railings, and an ornate tiled fireplace in the living room. You will find original door knobs with locking hardware and light fixtures throughout the house's interior. On the outside, take a peek at the beautiful chimney with an arched hood cap and the recently updated mission clay tile roof. Extensive pre-sale inspection package available for your review, including receipts for updates and repairs. This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Santa Barbara's history along with some of the most expansive views of this remarkable California coastal town.
