Las Canoas / El Cielito

POST & BEAM MODERN

Defined by the quality of light and shadow and the casual lifestyle, modernism is a perfect style for Santa Barbara promoting harmony between shelter and nature. It offers an environment that is both relaxed and sophisticated…dramatic and beautiful.

Coveted for the rural feel of the area, yet only 10-minutes to downtown, the El Cielito neighborhood is a magical place to live. Hiking, biking and walking trails make it easy to enjoy some of the most beautiful scenery and views in Santa Barbara. It is here that you will find this meticulously maintained property infused with golden light. This architecturally interesting home displays a wood and glass theme nestled in privacy and serenity. With over an acre of land and more than 100 trees and stunning sandstone boulders, there is plenty of space for a pool and/or accessory buildings.

Offering views of the ocean and islands, the home is 2 stories, 3 bedrooms and 3 ½ bathrooms, with a formal dining room, library, office… and an excellent workshop off the 2-car garage. Ideal southern exposure brings the morning sun at daybreak and magnificent sunsets at day’s end. An atmosphere of warmth and coziness is created by the redwood interiors and amber tones of light with tall 10 ft ceilings throughout. Surrounded by windows, the inviting living room has a magnificent marble fireplace. The kitchen is spacious enough for both cooks and guests to congregate around the center island or breakfast table. And the kitchen has its own fireplace for warmth and ambience.  Throughout the house, you will find beautiful custom cabinetry and generous storage.

Visit this warm and special home and see if it fits your lifestyle.
