About this home

Breathtaking panoramic ocean, island, Mission and city views from this wonderfully updated 3 Bd 2.5 Bath contemporary Mission Canyon home. Wall to wall glass takes in the panorama of Santa Barbara. The gourmet kitchen features gorgeous stone countertops, custom Maple cabinetry & newer stainless steel appliances accented with travertine floors & custom lighting. Each room has its own stunning view. This amazing view home has incredibly desirable features making it stand out above the other homes in area. Not only do you enjoy the ever changing landscape and weather minute to minute, but the artistic features and easy maintenance of this home make Coastal living even better. On the main floor, the living room and formal dining have vaulted ceilings accented with custom marble fireplace and floors. The Master En-suite has a walk-in closet, spacious bath and a sunset view balcony (half bath conveniently located adjacent to the living room). Two bedrooms, bath and laundry downstairs are private & offer amazing views. Office (or home theatre) provides a much desired flexible space, along with the attached 2 car garage. Ample parking is a plus! On .26 acre, the expansive grounds of this property are located between 2 streets and has unobstructed views. The drought tolerant landscape, terraced with drip and ground cover, feature an outdoor dining terrace with Barbeque, fruit trees, vegetable and fern garden plus a hammock terrace.
