Situated in one of Santa Barbara's beloved Mesa neighborhoods, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath residence is a serene retreat near the dramatic Mesa bluffs overlooking the blue coastal waters and Channel Islands. Access to the beach is just two blocks away at the end of Mesa Lane.
This tranquil community is renowned for its walkability, coastal proximity with stunning views, relaxed vibe, and friendly locals. The thoughtfully designed home is steeped in cool coastal colors, and built around a central patio, connecting the main living area and private primary suite wing. Beneath a bistro lit pergola, this central patio is a hub for outdoor gatherings and lingering under the stars after hours. Chaise lounges and a built-in barbecue with granite counters enhance the alfresco experience. Set up a taco bar, a cocktail station, or grill up prime steaks from Lazy Acres, where locals flock for gourmet finds, a great deli and bakery (try their cakes!), and curated sundries.
The sunlit dining corner and fully appointed kitchen, complete with earth tone granite countertops, set the stage for effortless meals and celebrations. A breakfast bar with a prep sink will make a great perch to keep an eye on the kids' morning routine. A Ninja blender stands at the ready for whipping up a refreshing morning smoothie, too! The abundant living room seating under a volume ceiling is an ideal gathering spot for Saturday cartoons, Super Bowl Sunday, or Monday movie night in front of the very large flat screen TV. Or cozy up to a winter fire with a good read.
The expansive primary suite features a king-size bed and a cozy sitting area with deep swivel chairs that flex to face the TV or patio. French doors open directly to the patio too, making it easy to pop out for a morning cup of coffee or watch the moon rise. The primary bathroom with a walk-in closet, and glass shower features a jetted tub under a picture window overlooking the backyard. Just outside is a flourishing orchard with citrus, figs, pomegranates, and a raised garden bed that bursts with a variety of tomatoes, kale, colorful blooms...and butterflies.
Two guest bedrooms in earth tones and coastal blues each have a queen bed and offer privacy and comfort. A hall bathroom, a two-car garage, and laundry complete the offerings. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months.
Nearby, Shoreline and Mesa Parks are the ideal place to enjoy incredible sunsets and to begin and end a long walk along Cabrillo Boulevard beaches. Culinary and coffee delights at local favorites are within walking distance. Try Lighthouse Coffee, Mesa Café, and Rose Café, a family-owned Mexican restaurant. "Qué Bueno!" For walks, coastal views, and sunset cocktails at The Boathouse, head to Hendry's Beach just down the hill, or let the four-legged friends enjoy a romp at Douglas Preserve on the breathtaking bluffs above Hendry's Beach. Check out our CONCIERGE page on the VROSB website to set up sunset tours, rent stand-up paddle boards, or arrange a private chef to prepare a well-deserved holiday meal. Saltair Sol will become a beloved place to call home while visiting Santa Barbara. Come for a visit, keep the memories for a lifetime! Don't miss out. Book now!
