Stylish furnishings, two fabulous suites, and a personality fit for entertaining define this newly remodeled jewel on the Mesa. The thoughtful floor plan and design elements are intended for guests to relax and enjoy the indoor-outdoor lifestyle Santa Barbara visitors crave.
The home's chic personality shines through with one look at the entry porch's iconic black and white tile flooring, adorable seating area, and manicured landscaping. This open-concept home's style, neutral color palette, and functionality meld beautifully together in a cohesive fashion statement. In the living room, an oversized, sectional sofa creates the perfect place to settle in front of the fire or binge-watch whatever is trending on streaming services. It is pure comfort in this cozy corner. The stunning white and grey quartz waterfall-style island undoubtedly steals the show in the kitchen, offering seating for more casual meals or an expansive workspace for baking, prepping, and gourmet entertaining. A sizable pass-through window provides clever convenience for serving a tasty brunch or happy hour cocktails at the outside bar. Opening the folding glass doors in the adjacent dining area will create the ideal open air experience in a multi-functional great room designed to perfection.
In the west wing, one of two indulgent suites boasts more folding doors that fully open to the backyard oasis. There is a king-size bed and a flat-screen television. Luxuriate in the free-standing soaking tub, or pop in for a quick drench in the generous-size glass shower and wash all cares away. The walk-in closet is outfitted with exercise gear, ready for morning yoga or an invigorating Pilates workout.
The second suite in the east wing is equal in stature, with a king-size bed, yet another television, and sliding doors to the backyard. The en suite bathroom offers a single sink and a large walk-in glass shower. Another walk-in closet provides ample wardrobe space for the long-term guest. In this same wing is a third guest bedroom with a queen-size bed, television, and front yard views. With flexibility in mind, the fourth bedroom is an ideal office for those working or studying from home, with a fold-down futon couch offering additional sleeping accommodations when needed. Additionally, there is a hall bathroom with a tub-shower combination.
The expansive backyard oasis gives this home ideal functionality and plenty of space to hang out in the sunshine and enjoy time together. A stunning, large-scale waterfall-style island anchors the outdoor kitchen with a built-in grill, under-counter refrigerator, prep sink, seating, and enormous counter space for effortless serving and dining. This outdoor space is a unique oasis with a dining table, Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, dual couches, and shade umbrellas. On cooler nights, plug in the electric heater to keep things toasty. Outfitted with an integrated sound system throughout the whole house where you can easily connect your device and be surrounded by your favorite music, it's quite the experience. Finally, the two-car garage is equip with a EV charging outlet and ready for today's eco-conscious guest sporting an electric vehicle. Brilliant!
In a quiet neighborhood, sidewalks invite guests to walk and talk easily. If a longer stroll is in order, head downhill to Hendry's Beach for a long walk on the beach and finish with happy hour at The Boathuose Restaurant. The Wilcox Preserve and Elings Park are nearby for more hiking and stunning ocean views. The Mesa offers a great, local vibe at places like Corner Tap, Lighthouse Coffee, and Mesa Burger. If cooking at home, pick up organic produce at Mesa Produce or Lazy Acres. And of course, the beach is a short drive away so save plenty of free time to explore all there is to do and see in this coastal playground. No matter the plan, this ideal location and the sheer comfort at Montilla Oasis will bring guests back again and gain.
