Nestled above State Street and near the foothills in one of Santa Barbara’s premier neighborhoods, this updated mid-century modern home with a spacious open floor plan is a haven for entertaining and relaxing. Designed by noted Santa Barbara architect Paul Greene, this 1,768 square foot San Roque gem is bathed in sunshine and features four bedrooms, two full baths plus a guest half-bath, a large swimming pool, and easy proximity to Monte Vista School, local parks, restaurants, shopping, and hiking trails. Step into the serene open courtyard, shaded by ancient oaks and landscaped with drought-friendly plantings. The dramatic glass-and-steel entryway features a slate stone floor, period-revival light fixtures and an ample coat closet. Period details abound throughout the home, from the original louvered windows to the sleek light fixtures and bold pops of color. The light-filled living area provides an ideal space for entertaining with soaring, beam-accented cathedral ceilings, a painted-brick fireplace, oak floors, and sliding glass doors leading to the backyard. The expansive kitchen opens to a dining area and includes a granite-and-steel breakfast bar, generous Corian countertops, new appliances, and oak floors. New dual-paned windows, accented by custom window treatments, overlook the courtyard, backyard and swimming pool. The adjacent laundry room has a new washer and dryer, plentiful storage and a half-bath with direct access to the rear yard and pool. The spacious master bedroom opens to a private, shaded seating area and features an ensuite bathroom with a roomy shower and a skylight. The dressing area, illuminated by a Solatube, offers multiple closets with plentiful shelving and mirrored doors. One of the three additional bedrooms has a fireplace, while another offers sliding doors to a tranquil side patio. Each bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings and wood floors. The fully fenced, palm-lined backyard oasis boasts a selection of fruit trees, including pomegranate, plum, and Eureka lemon. Soak up the sun and the breathtaking mountain views from the solar-heated, 40-foot lap pool. Unwind with a book on the tranquil side patio. Dine al fresco beneath the pergola while taking in the sunset. An outdoor, hot-water shower adjacent to the pool is ideal for rinsing off after a swim or hiking the nearby trails. A detached double garage, easily accessed via a breezeway, has a new roof and provides space for extra storage or a workshop. Multiple upgrades, such as a Nest thermostat, an Intelliflo pool pump, new bath and kitchen fixtures, upgraded electrical, a new flat roof on the house, fresh interior and exterior paint, a sound-control window in the master bedroom, and drip irrigation throughout the grounds complete this stunning property in the desirable Hope School District.
