Experience this wonderful, Spanish-style Santa Barbara home nestled just above San Roque proper. Down a quiet private lane in a serene park-like setting, you would never realize that it is only a few short minutes to the shops and restaurants of The Upper State Street corridor, and within walking distance of the highly-coveted Peabody Charter School. This large 2,576 sqft. view property features 5 bedroom, 3 bath and sits on .42 acres. The owners have recently remodeled the entire primary suite, hall bath and kitchen using natural stone, marble and onyx finishes. In addition, newly added Bellawood solid hardwood floors, recessed lighting, new doors and hardware throughout elevate the home. Storage abounds with both basement and attic space, along with an oversized 2 car garage featuring extensive built-ins. A complete 14 panel Sunpower solar system (owned outright) with a Level 2 EV charger enables a renewable lifestyle. The light and bright open living spaces enjoy vaulted ceilings with expansive ocean views. This area then seamlessly flows onto a spatious open patio with wonderful city, ocean and island views, creating an effortless transition for indoor-outdoor living. There is also a delightful sitting garden area with a secluded, private spa looking out towards the evening sunsets. The property borders an 8 acre city green space which leads directly to the Jesusita trailhead - paradise for runners, hikers, and mountain bikers. The flexible floor plan also easily allows for the option of a "main home" living as a 4 bed 2 bath, with an attached downstairs studio/bedroom featuring a full bath, kitchenette, and separate entrance.

RS-1A
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.
