Set quietly above the city in the highly coveted Eucalyptus Hill neighborhood, this remodeled single-level home offers something increasingly rare in Santa Barbara - true privacy, paired with unobstructed views that sweep across the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and Harbor. As the sun dips below the horizon, the twinkling lights of the Harbor and city below lend the property an almost cinematic quality.
The remodel has been executed with restraint and intention - blending modern upgrades with a focus on showcasing the panoramic vistas from almost every room. Outfitted with new solar, HVAC, and windows throughout, the home's efficiency is elevated without compromising its character. The spacious and usable 0.41-acre lot invites further possibilities: an ocean view ADU, pool & cabana, or bucolic open space-all with privacy from the main home. The home itself is not even visible from the street, providing the privacy and security that many seek.
At once serene and spectacular, this is true Santa Barbara living at its finest.
