Large private Spanish home w/jacuzzi near beach in Santa Barbara

This fully restored, 3000 square foot, 1927 Spanish-style home is the
essence of Santa Barbara living. Full of architectural interest
including cove ceilings and hardwood floors throughout, this four
bedroom stucco home with tile roof features a fully remodeled kitchen,
dining room, formal living room, cozy family room with wood fireplace,
as well as office and two and a half baths.

The very private master suite sits perched on the second floor and has
windows on all four sides with views of the ocean, Channel Islands and
mountains. Step out the French doors onto your private roof top deck
complete with hot tub! Perfect for those starry nights!

Downstairs, another bedroom with queen bed has large windows on three
sides to view the gardens and adjacent outdoor courtyard. The third
bedroom with queen bed also opens with Jack and Jill doors to the
spacious bathroom with loads of charm. An oversized antique tub, tiled
shower, pedestal sink and original ceramic tile floor give this room a
lot of character. The sitting room/guest bedroom with trundled day bed (two twins) can accommodate two more guests.

The fully-equipped gourmet kitchen, remodeled in 2002, retained the
commercial six-burner range with griddle, oven, and broiler. It also
features reverse osmosis filtered water, Subzero frig, Miele
dishwasher, an assortment of small appliances (toaster oven, citrus
juicer, blender, coffee maker etc.) Henckels knives and limestone
countertops. For your convenience, a laundry room (with supplies),
linens, beach and bath towels are provided.

When you're not out enjoying all Santa Barbara has to offer, you'll
enjoy relaxing at home. Outside, you have a six foot adobe walled yard
surrounded by lush tropical landscaping on all sides and featuring
fountains, sculptures and a rose garden. There's a full size
trampoline to entertain kids of all ages. Comfy lawn and porch
furniture make it an easy place to pass time. Choose your meal at our
outdoor dining area with gas grill or our favorite lunch spot in the
enclosed courtyard.

When you're done relaxing, take a short three block walk to the steps
to the beach. We often see dolphins and whales when we visit. Walk the
beach 15 minutes to the West and have great chowder at a fantastic
seafood restaurant, or spend time playing in the water, strolling the
beach for shells, or watching the kids play in the waves with the
boogie boards we have left for you.

From your home, you can also take a five minute walk to the Douglas
Family Preserve - an ocean front public undeveloped area for walking
and bicycling. In the other direction, a five minute walk will get
you to Lazy Acres, voted among the best Natural/Gourmet stores in the
country!

Their deli makes eating home simple and delicious. Our local Mesa
Village shopping center (a pleasant 10 minute walk) includes
Starbucks, Manhattan Bagel, a pizzeria, Mexican, Thai and Chinese
food, ice cream and smoothie shop, Drug Store, Grocery Store, fast
food and the Mira Bella Salon.

Our local park complete with play structure and swings is a 10 minute
walk and good for kids of all ages. A public bus stop is also
available just one block from home and which takes you downtown.

Downtown Santa Barbara is just two miles away, and we often ride
bikes. Santa Barbara is a very special place. Bordered by the ocean
and mountains, it retains it's small community feel while offering all
the culture of a much bigger city. Full of activities for people of
all ages, its natural beauty draws visitors from all over the world.

As we hope you can tell, our is a very special home. When built in
1927, it was the 'manor' house of the area. It is still considered by
many to be the 'jewel' of the neighborhood. It is our primary
residence during the school year, and we've worked hard to make it a
comfortable, beautiful and enjoyable place to spend time. We share it
during our summer travels, and hope it can make your travels to Santa
Barbara even more special.
