Stunning Ocean View - Classic Riviera Villa

A historic Riviera Villa Estate, built in 1916, this property enchants with it's location at the top of the world renowned American Riviera with spacious rooms & breathtaking views of the entire Santa Barbara coast and Channel Islands beyond. .
One enters through a vaulted breezeway to the entry courtyard where the terraced gardens and shade trees soften the view and provide separate and distinct areas for all forms of rest & relaxation. All downstairs rooms including living, dining, library/offfice and detached guest quarters have french doors that open onto private gardens and outdoor living spaces. High ceilings throughout and casual, but, elegant decor including hardwood floors and seagrass carpet, give the house a comfortable feel that combines the best of Spanish Colonial architecture with modern day California living. A large outdoor fireplace and gas grill compliment the outdoor areas. The kitchen comes fully outfitted with Garland commercial range, marble countertops, Miele dishwasher, etc.... and is sure to please any cook.

While providing a tranquil setting for a home away from home experience, the location is centrally located between downtown (5-10 min), Montecito (15 min.) and the airport (20-25 min.). This is the quintessential Santa Barbara home, where one can easily imagine being in the south of France or on the Amalfi Coast, without the airfare!
There are two king bedrooms upstairs at either end of the house with ocean views, balconies, and baths. The 3rd bedroom upstairs has a double bed or can be used as a second office and part of the master suite. All bedrooms have draperies and/or Roman Shades on all windows. Detached guest quarters downstairs provides a comfortable sitting and work area, as well as queen bed and full bath. We hope you will enjoy and explore all our beautiful region has to offer: miles and miles of white sand beaches, great hiking, golf, and water sports , award winning wineries & restaurants, etc…. If you are also looking to relax at the end of your day from the comfort of your own terrace with one if the best views in Santa Barbara, then this is a good fit for you.
