About This Home

Move-in ready for summer fun, now with a great new PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Catch the summer breeze from your own backyard. Big ocean views + location + natural light... Perched on Santa Barbara's coveted Lower Riviera / Upper East adjacent to charming Chiquita Road, this classic 1941 Alex d'Alfonso-designed home has been completely updated while preserving its timeless character. Big ocean, island, and downtown views are enjoyed from light-filled spaces wrapped in windows plus over 1,000 square feet of outdoor living and dining terraces. Set behind park-like landscaping, the property lives with rare privacy and features extensive terraced gardens, fruit trees, a fire pit seating area, and hot tub. Creating a true indoor-outdoor retreat. The main upper level offers 2 bedrooms and 1 bath, an open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area with walls of glass framing the views, a gas fireplace, beautiful oak floors, Caesarstone countertops, contemporary lighting, and luxury appliances throughout. Downstairs, a totally private, fully appointed unit with open living, dining, and kitchen, a spacious bedroom, full bath, and additional room (ideal as an office, study, media room, or guest/nanny suite) provides flexible options for multigenerational living, a home office, or potential income. Impeccably maintained and truly turn-key, this Riviera gem pairs architectural pedigree with modern comfort, delivering the quintessential Santa Barbara lifestyle in one outstanding property. Extensive upgrade / maintenance list (including new roof) available upon request.
