$3,975,000

If you are looking for privacy, premier south facing location and clear coastal views, this romantic home on Santa Barbara's Upper Riviera offers breathtaking and unimpeded panoramic views sweeping eastward from Point Magu over the historic city, then westward beyond San Miguel Island; no wires, no unowned tree interference! Twilight… Read More brings a golden light over the harbor, followed by sparkling city lights; there are sailboats on Wet Wednesday plus the occasional cruise ship. Down a private drive, off a premier country lane with no through traffic, this classic California residence is nestled on .8ac of meandering paths, native California oaks, seasonal creek, amazing stonework and boulders. Hawks soar overhead, and there is an occassional deer or fox that wanders through. The charming ranchhouse style offers whitewashed rustic brickwork, beams, board and batten, bay window, farmhouse doors and large entry patio like an outdoor livingroom. Although the house is two story, it can easily live single level with all major rooms and garage at entry. The light, open floorplan features high beamed ceilings, hardwood flooring, newer windows and floor-to-ceiling sliders onto the view balcony. The airy traditional feel can easily become even more contemporary if desired. There are a total of four bedrooms and four baths, with three bedrooms and three baths on the main level. The primary wing offers two bedrooms and baths; one could also function as a sitting room or office. An additional guest bedroom and bath is located off the kitchen wing. The flexible lower level offers a recreation room (currently a media room), separate bedroom and bath, plus a storage room and is suitable for many uses: guests, caregivers, exercise, hobby, art/music, or office space. A large stone patio with views is perfect for al fresco dining, and a lower level garden is accessed from the lower story on an easy wide, paved path; it features a deck, spa, and beyond to spacious turf area. There is a variety of citrus and kitchen garden terraces for the chef! The oversized two car garage includes work space and ample additional parking. This solid, clean home features many improvements and upgraded systems including replaced sewer lateral, heating/AC, newer windows, appliances and water filtration system. The most peaceful retreat yet so close to the Riviera action: the El Encanto Hotel for dinner and drinks, the Riviera Theatre for a movie, hiking and biking to Franceshi Park and Sheffield Open Space, and beyond to all the fun shops, galleries and restaurants of downtown Santa Barbara. Or... just breathe and soak in those once-in-a-lifetime views framed by abundant natural beauty. Read Less
