This one-bedroom, one-bath condominium is a fantastic, gorgeously appointed, ground-floor unit in a resort-like setting just steps away from Santa Barbara's sunny East Beach. The 646-square-foot condo is fully furnished and recently updated with a sparkling kitchen and bath. The condo complex adds many amenities to the superb lifestyle that you can enjoy living at El Escorial, such as a swimming pool and jacuzzi surrounded by lush tropical landscaping and Spanish neo-colonial revival architecture. You'll also enjoy a health club with showers, tennis courts, a clubhouse, a barbeque area and helpful 24-hour security. This ground-level unit also includes an open floor plan and a spacious patio.

From the refuge, it is also a five-to-ten-minute walk to Montecito's Coast Village Road, with its grocery store, restaurants and shops, along with the quaint Montecito Inn. Inside the condominium, you'll find appointments that are not found in many of the condos in El Escorial Villas. The kitchen has been remodeled (2017) with new white cabinets. The countertops dazzle with beautiful engineered quartz, and the gleaming white backsplash shines with glass and crystal. The bathroom has been totally remodeled to make excellent use of space, replacing the tub and shower curtain with a glass enclosure that accentuates the brilliant porcelain tiles that extend all the way to the ceiling in the shower area.
