City living at its best. The romance and charm of the Mediterranean, set on one of Santa Barbara's quaintest streets, in the most desirable part of town. An easy stroll to sidewalk coffee shops and cafes. The historic Mission is only 4 blocks away. Less than a mile to the heart of the shopping, dining, theater, and historic area. Two miles to East Beach - one of top 10 beaches in United States. This Mediterranean style home is totally renovated and elegantly furnished throughout. The home is filled with antique elements, carousel animals, and wonderful details not found in typical rental homes. The Living Room with stone surround gas fireplace, is ideal for either entertaining or family gatherings. Two leather swivel chairs and other sofa seating provide comfortable viewing of the 60" smart TV. The bright, new, hand crafted country kitchen is a gourmet's delight, with Viking range, granite counters and French sink. The Italian floor tiles flow through the large dining room, out the French doors to the secluded and quiet courtyard. A quiet wall fountain, canvas umbrellas, with dining facilities for 8-10, make for enchanting entertaining. Garden lights and portable gas heater extend the cooler evenings. The generous first floor bedrooms contain a queen sized and two single beds, respectively. The single bedded room has a "library quiet" window air conditioner, for those few days every 2 to 3 years, when it might be needed. We think of it as our "cool safe" room. A bath with shower and tub is between these bedrooms. The second floor master suite with king sized bed, has an adjoining marble tiled bath with extra large shower. The suite's private, 20 foot covered balcony is ideal for reading or relaxing. Beach chairs and beach towels included.
