Description

Santa Barbara Mesa Living at its best: welcome to a truly lovely home in the desirable 93109 zip code! Meticulously remodeled, this serene property is just blocks from the beach and offers a charming blend of luxury and comfort with a tranquil and laid-back coastal vibe. Tucked away behind mature hedges on a quiet street with a gated welcome, this home's tiled front entry sets the tone for casual living, and lush landscaping reminds you you're relaxing in America's Riviera under shade trees and palms. With 4 large bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, the residence offers a flexible layout for privacy when hosting guests, as well as seamless indoor-outdoor options for both family life and entertaining.

Supplements: Enter and step into the expansive kitchen area, complete with quartz countertops and a large built-in breakfast nook; perfect for preparing and enjoying meals together. The sizeable living room- with a cozy fireplace- looks out onto the lavishly landscaped back yard. To your right, you'll find two bedrooms adjoining a spacious Jack and Jill bathroom. One bedroom features a king-size bed behind patio doors that open directly to the home's beautiful outdoor spaces and the other bedroom has twin beds and is tucked away into the most tranquil part of the house, the front corner. On the left side of the house, you'll find two more bedrooms: the first is a comfortable retreat with a king-size bed and an adjacent bath with a spacious double vanity. Beyond the separate laundry room and walk-in pantry, you'll find the 4th bedroom with a queen-size bed and its own sitting area. This room's patio doors open to a tucked-away private garden area in the front of the home. The landscaped grounds are a highlight of this entertainer's dream home, reminiscent of lazy afternoons enjoyed in Portugal or Spain with the convenient outdoor kitchen- complete with gas BBQ and fridge near the magnificent 300-year-old Ojai oak table that invites ten friends to join you. Infrared heaters provide all-season comfort, and add to the quintessential indoor/outdoor Mesa experience. The relaxing hot tub is tucked into a private corner of the yard with a tiled outdoor shower to complete the setting. On the opposite side of the backyard is the firepit surrounded by built-in seating and additional Mediterranean planting. With plenty of places for dining and relaxing, this exceptional yard becomes a seamless addition to the home's space for entertaining, play or quiet contemplation... and it's all solar powered. Both north and south sides of the house have concrete stone pathways and plentiful lush, colorful, floral scented gardens and fruit trees that surround the front and back yards of this special property. There are many creative possibilities for alternate floor plans in this home to suit the needs and dreams of its next owners, with a versatile layout that's well-planned and all arranged on a single level. Located in the heart of the highly sought-after Mesa neighborhood, this beautiful retreat is mere blocks from beach access, running paths, Lazy Acres market, and all the gracious living the 93109 zip has to offer.
