About this home

2848 Foothill Road offers something increasingly hard to find in Santa Barbara: a home that feels genuinely new, with the flexibility of a separate ADU and space to actually live. Taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt, the two-bedroom, two-bath main residence pairs clean modern finishes with the peace of mind that comes from extensive improvements throughout, including a new roof, new HVAC with air conditioning, and updated working systems. Inside, natural light fills the open living spaces, where warm flooring, crisp walls, recessed lighting, and an updated kitchen create a fresh, easy backdrop for everyday life. The kitchen features blue-toned cabinetry, butcher-block-style counters, stainless appliances and an adjoining dining area, while both bedrooms and bathrooms continue the home's clean, modern aesthetic. The primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet and beautifully finished bath. Outside, the property offers multiple areas to enjoy, including a private landscaped yard, patio space, mature surroundings and ample off-street parking--an especially valuable combination in Santa Barbara. Set apart from the main residence is a fully finished one-bedroom, one-bath ADU with its own kitchen, living space, bedroom and bath creating exceptional flexibility for guests, extended living, workspace or rental potential. With three bedrooms and three baths between two separate residences, extensive new systems, usable outdoor space and generous parking, 2848 Foothill Road delivers the ease of a nearly new home while keeping you connected to everything Santa Barbara has to offer.

About Mission Canyon

Heights

Mission Canyon Heights, located between Mission Canyon Road and the Santa Ynez Mountains foothills, is a hillside and residential Mission Canyon neighborhood with winding canyon lanes and trail-forward scenery. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mission Canyon Road corridor near Rocky Nook Park, where cyclists, hikers, and dog-walkers set the tempo. Architecture leans to mid-century ranch homes, Spanish-influenced details, and tucked-away cottages on terraced lots. Rocky Nook Park functions as the outdoor living room, with picnic lawns and creekside shade. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden adds a strong sense of place through native-plant landscapes and canyon paths. Days often revolve around trailheads, garden walks, and quiet views across the canyon.

** Attention Investors & Contractors!** A great opportunity to bring this cottage back to life in the desired Roosevelt school attendance area. Perched high up off Foothill rd with plenty of parking, a detached garage and rear yard space to make your own. The garage could make a great ADU space leaving the main residence with separate parking and storage. Once renovated this property would be appropriately positioned in the market place where buyer demand is high and inventory is minimal.
