Embrace irresistible Santa Barbara charm in this meaningfully renovated Spanish-style residence, located on a +/- 0.25-acre corner lot in the desirable Samarkand neighborhood! The light & bright 4 bed/3.5 bath home has been treated to substantial improvements inside and out: a remodeled kitchen & bathrooms, a new roof, new windows, and more! Outside, a recently installed hot tub and a built-in barbecue area with a brick pizza oven complement multiple patio areas and the adjacent lawn area is surrounded by palm trees and high hedges.

Inside, the home’s floor plan offers spaces that are comfortable yet cozy, and include a formal dining area, living room, and an expansive family room featuring French-style doors leading to an outdoor dining patio. While the home has been thoughtfully updated to ensure modern comfort & efficiency, unique touches pay homage to its classic heritage — most notably the living room fireplace which showcases original tile work by acclaimed Southern California designer, Ernest Batchelder. Three bedrooms on the main level offer convenient flexibility for accommodating family, guests, or an office. The primary bedroom suite makes use of the entire second level, where giant picture windows frame gorgeous views of the Santa Ynez Mountains.


A detached garage is host to a custom mini-bar & lounge area, as well as laundry facilities and ample storage. In addition to various patios, a fire pit area, and even an outdoor shower, the fenced yard features a variety of fruit-bearing trees including lemon and avocado. All of this is in utterly convenient proximity to Upper State and San Roque shops & restaurants — and just a short drive or bike ride to Hendry’s Beach and Douglas Family Preserve. Your Santa Barbara hacienda-style haven awaits!
