Overview

Perched above the street in the coveted Park Highlands neighborhood, this Mediterranean residence offers a rare combination of privacy, generous living space, and some of the most breathtaking views in the area. Set on 1.1 elevated acres, the nearly 3,600-square-foot home enjoys sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and Santa Ynez Mountains, while its desirable southern exposure fills the interiors with natural light throughout the day. Built in 1991, the home was thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The flexible floor plan includes three spacious bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a den, private office, and an expansive flex room that could serve as a media room, gym, playroom, or potential fourth bedroom. Cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace create a dramatic focal point in the living room, while high ceilings throughout the rest of the home enhance the sense of openness. At the heart of the home, the well-appointed kitchen is equipped with a six-burner cooktop, double ovens, a large center island with a prep sink and seating for five, and a dedicated dining area just off the kitchen. The grounds offer a peaceful Santa Barbara setting with mature olive trees, vibrant bougainvillea, fresh lawns, a variety of fruit trees, and a functioning koi pond. Covered and open patios create inviting spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the expansive backyard offers ample room to add a pool and pool house without compromising the spectacular mountain views. Additional features include central air conditioning, an attached two-car garage with an epoxy floor, and inclusion within the highly regarded Mountain View School attendance area. With its elevated setting, exceptional privacy, sweeping ocean and mountain views, flexible floor plan, and expansive 1.1-acre parcel, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that offers an exceptional lifestyle today and lasting value for years to come.
