839 Mission Canyon Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93105

Wonderfully updated craftsman home w/ detached 1 Bed/1 Bath guest cottage rests on nearly 1/2 acre of usable land in a prime Mission Canyon location. Original charm has been preserved while the home has been renovated throughout with all modern conveniences, incl. gourmet kitchen, period bathrooms & dual-pane windows. Approved plans add ~500sqft master suite. Easy access to the Mission & Downtown. This quintessential craftsman home has incredibly unique features making it stand out from the typical property of this vintage. All the original appeal shines as brightly as it did in 1900, such as beadboard and wainscoting in many rooms, picture rail throughout the home, refinished wood floors and Saltillo tile in some areas, leaded windows and a brick fireplace along with numerous built-in storage and shelving options. Newer upgrades include all new kitchen and baths, built to complement the period, with marble counters and custom white shaker style cabinets in the kitchen. Top-name appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, Liebherr refrigerator, Bertazzoni gas range, and Gaggenau steam oven and warming drawer. The bathrooms were updated with subway and hexagonal tile, a clawfoot tub and shower in one and a tiled walk-in shower in the other. The bathroom has a warm floor (radiant heating) system and the whole home is protected by an alarm system with motion detectors and motion-activated outdoor lights. Other upgrades to the home's systems include copper plumbing, newer electrical wiring, as well as interior and exterior light fixtures and ceiling fans, select dual-paned windows, newer insulation and a Takagi on-demand water heater for the guest house. The owners recently invested approximately $30,000 to design plans and secure county approval to add a master suite of about 500 sqft off of the kitchen (where the sun room currently is). The plans also incorporate the addition of a 1-car garage at the end of the driveway. These plans will be included in the sale of the home for the new buyer. The expansive grounds of this property are reminiscent of the nearby Rocky Nook Park and Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, providing a combination of drought tolerant landscaping, beautiful succulent and cacti specimens, large, functional gardens and numerous outdoor patio areas for entertaining. Enjoy your own orchard with four varieties of orange tree, tangerine, lemon, plum, peach, nectarine, plumcot, apricot, pear, apple, pomegranate, cherry, red and green grapes, blackberries and avocados. The landscaping is lined with classic Santa Barbara sandstone walls and stunning sandstone boulders and rock formations. This incredible Santa Barbara haven is mere moments from all the amenities of Mission Canyon and Downtown. Only .3 miles to the SB Tennis Club, .4 miles to Rocky Nook Park, .6 miles to the Santa Barbara Mission, 1.5 miles to Trader Joe's and 2.5 miles to Paseo Nuevo shopping and restaurants. This amazing property offers great possibilities for a family compound or simple enjoyment as an ultra-convenient yet peaceful haven away from Santa Barbara's hustle and bustle!
