Summerland

The Cottage At Summerland

Perched on a terraced hillside overlooking the magnificence of the blue Pacific, the Cottage at Summerland is a welcome retreat to a lifestyle of endless summers.  Located on the Santa Barbara coast in the seaside village of Summerland, the mild California climate makes this a year-round address.

Offering spectacular ocean, island and harbor views from its world-class location, this sophisticated home is infused with a comfortable elegance that lives so well in this beachside community.  The traditional architecture of the Cottage has subtle contemporary overtones such as the open floor plan that allows the living spaces to flow effortlessly from one room to the next.  Generous windows and French doors bring the views in and allow for easy access to the outdoor living spaces. 

Quality abounds in this turn-key property with close to $400,000 in recent upgrades.  Beautiful limestone and bamboo floors grace the living areas, while the three bedrooms are finished in sisal look carpet.  Handsome stone fireplaces cast a warm glow in both the living room and family room and the kitchen is a chef’s delight.  This well-appointed kitchen has an island breakfast bar, granite counter tops, limestone backsplash and Viking appliances.  Filled with an abundance of sunlight, the kitchen is also open to the breakfast room where morning lattes can be sipped while enjoying the incredible ocean views.

Awash in the colors and serenity of the ocean and beach, the master retreat is a haven for relaxation and rejuvenation.  Ocean views and sea breezes add to the relaxing ambiance of the bedroom, while a sumptuous spa like bath waits to pamper and indulge with a fabulous tub, wonderful shower and dual vanities.  Completing the master retreat, is a generous walk-in dressing closet.

The Cottage at Summerland is part of a beautifully planned 14-acre enclave of traditionally styled cottages. Ten of the 14-acres is dedicated open space and parkland.  The Cottage is perfectly sited within the enclave, as it is blessed with being located on the upper terrace with no homes in front, giving a clear view to the ocean.

Just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and a stone’s throw from Montecito, the Summerland community hosts an impressive collection of upscale shops, offering antiques, home furnishings and garden accessories.  Charming cafes, spas and Bed and Breakfast Inns complete this idyllic seaside paradise. 

Within walking distance to the beach, hiking trails, shopping and dining, life at the Cottage makes it easy to believe in endless summers.
