SANTA BARBARA FARM COTTAGE WITH COUNTRY CHIC

Beautifully situated on an exceptionally quiet cul-de-sac street with mountain views, this winsome 4 bedroom, 2 ½ bath, board & batten farmhouse has been lovingly transformed inside and out to embody the essence of casual-but-chic California living. 

The interior flows in an open design from the entryway and living room, with its hardwood floors and fieldstone fireplace, down two steps and through a large archway into the dining area and a spacious country kitchen with butcher block center island, Saltillo tile floor, granite countertops & stainless-steel appliances. The two full bathrooms have been artfully updated with granite-top vanities, Travertine & retro honeycomb floor tiles and Travertine wainscoting and the large laundry room off of the kitchen also contains a half bath. One of the 4 bedrooms has a built-in sleeping loft and another has handsome, sliding barn doors that open to extend the main living area by using it as a TV room / office. The spacious ensuite master bedroom boasts wide French doors opening onto a wood deck with Wisteria-shaded arbor and a connected office / yoga room that also opens through glass sliders onto the deck. The master bath has a spa-like feel and is graced with a large walk-in, glass-enclosed shower stall with crisp white tile walls and bench seating.

The large multi-level backyard offers an alluring extension to the living and entertainment space with an expansive patio of Angeles pavers, stucco and stone retaining walls, a circular stone fire-pit, the luxury of a spa and outdoor shower, a veggie garden and many fruit trees (citrus, fig, avocado, mulberry) as well as jacaranda and liquid amber. There is also a large front patio with a mountain view, accessed from the street through an attractive wooden gate in a picket fence. This enchanting home is just minutes away from Santa Barbara shopping & dining, hiking trails, and easy access to 154 and Santa Ynez Valley wineries. Homes on this street rarely come on the market.
