Nestled above the iconic red tile roofs and sweeping coastline of Santa Barbara, this sublime vacation destination occupies a prime perch on the American Riviera.
As a welcoming point of entry behind wrought iron gates, a tranquil fountain sets the tone for a relaxed and memorable stay. White stucco walls contrast with Saltillo tile patios and lush gardens in a pleasing Mediterranean theme outside, and a comfortably appointed remodeled home inside. The house functions beautifully as a dual-living property with both floors connecting inside and out, and also accessible with private entrances if desired.
The main floor offers a master suite with a full bathroom, a second bedroom suite with a day bed with twin trundle, and en suite bathroom. The exceptionally well-equipped kitchen is thoughtfully outfitted with distinctive appliances, a variety of dishes and serving pieces, and a central island for all to gather together to cook, dine, and have fun!
Flanking the kitchen are opposing terraces offering two uniquely differing perspectives. Captivating ocean views define the expansive main terrace by day, and the twinkling lights of the city below, by night. There is no better spot from sunrise to sunset. Restaurant-style gas heaters create a perfect year-round outdoor dining room experience. Two large sectional couches invite sun worshippers and stargazers alike to soak in the unobstructed view. The enclosed north dining patio offers a more intimate experience, also with outdoor heaters for comfort on cooler evenings. The living room opens with dual sets of French doors making this room feel as if an extension of terrace just outside.
The downstairs functions beautifully as a second residence or as an extension of the main floor, with two bedrooms, three bathrooms, two family/media rooms, kitchenette, music room, and laundry. The middle terrace just outside each family/media room is a shady place to relax and unwind, with two chaise lounges and a generously sized spa tub to enjoy. Conveniently, exterior stairs allow ease and flow between the two levels.
A bounty of California oranges is the unexpected gift of Ocean View Outlook. Heavily laden citrus trees border the lower lawn surrounding a bubbling tiered fountain in the central courtyard that is the serene focus of the lower yard.
The undeniable indoor-outdoor personality of Ocean View Outlook combined with the sweeping coastal vistas as the quintessential backdrop assures that every guest will find their perfect slice of paradise and are sure to discover a sunny new outlook!
