897 Cieneguitas Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93110

Tucked away upon the rise of an oak-forested arroyo toward the back of the peaceful Village Green complex, this tastefully remodeled home features two bedrooms and two baths, a private courtyard, and stunning treetop and foothill views. Centrally located in the desirable Hope Elementary attendance area and ideally convenient to shopping and highway access, this 1,370 square foot home is freshly updated and move-in ready. A winding foot path, lined with fragrant citrus trees, meanders along the greenbelt to the entry. The front door, painted an alluring cherry-red and adorned with brand-new contemporary hardware, provides a welcoming greeting and hints at the transformation within. The entry opens to an airy great room, featuring a soaring vaulted ceiling with exposed beams. An architectural mantel crowns a painted brick wood-burning fireplace, and a large picture window offers endless views of oaks and the majestic Santa Ynez Mountains rising above the ravine. Tree views abound from the dining area as well, and a coat closet, enhanced with the same designer hardware as the front entry, offers plentiful storage. The kitchen is awash in natural light and has been elegantly updated with glossy quartz countertops, elegant ceramic floor tile, and nickel pulls on the freshly painted, solid-wood cabinetry. Not an inch of storage space is wasted, with deep drawers, an efficient multi-tiered storage carousel, and maximized pantry shelving. New recessed lighting features LED technology, as do the contemporary pendant fixtures illuminating the spacious breakfast bar. A brand-new, oversized stainless steel Kraus sink with a sleek gooseneck pull-out faucet complements the brand-new stainless steel gas stove, dishwasher, and mounted microwave. The walls and ceiling have been smoothed and finished with Farrow & Ball Cat's Paw estate emulsion. A convenient exterior door is enhanced with the same designer hardware as the front entry, and inconspicuous bi-fold doors conceal a laundry nook with attic access. A pass-through window from the kitchen allows for easy al fresco dining in the sunlit central courtyard. Accessed via two sets of glass sliders and fully enclosed for complete privacy, the Saltillo-tiled patio invites relaxation, whether sunbathing, barbecuing or stargazing. The hallway features glass sliders to the courtyard, extra-deep floor-to-ceiling linen closets, and a remodeled guest bathroom with tub and shower. A light-drenched bedroom has a full wall of closets and a second glass slider leading to the patio. The hall bath features a commodious vanity with deep, soft-close drawers and a designer basin, an oversized mirror, and an elegant bar light fixture, controlled by a dimmer switch. The tranquil master bedroom boasts an ensuite bathroom, lofty vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and a generous picture window framing views of the oak canopy and foothills beyond. The expansive closet offers generous built-in shelving, multiple bars, recessed lighting, attic access, and a sliding pocket door. The adjacent bath features a wall-mounted double sink vanity with capacious storage drawers, new marble floors, and a luxurious shower with marble floors and a glass surround with designer hardware. All rooms feature wood-laminate or tile flooring, new baseboards and registers, new designer door hardware, and hand-finished texturing on walls and ceilings. All bathrooms showcase upgraded vanities, Toto toilets, adjustable handheld Grohe shower fixtures, and updated tile, lighting and hardware. Nearly all lighting, including outdoor lighting, has been upgraded with LED fixtures and new Decora switches. The complex features two pools -- one solar-heated -- and a Jacuzzi, along with a clubhouse and a workshop, complete with tools. Two separate single-car carports (one with a large, lockable storage room), air conditioning, a new water heater, and fresh paint throughout complete this thoughtfully-appointed home.
