    What's special

    Experience the timeless elegance of 1318 Alta Vista, a distinctive sanctuary property situated in Santa Barbara's historic and highly desirable Lower Riviera. This exceptional estate encompasses two private residences on an expansive lot. Once inside the hand-forged iron entry gate, one experiences the magical quality of the courtyard's mature landscape, mural, and the sound of its original Spanish tile fountain. Bespoke ironwork pays homage to the artisanal craftsmanship of the home and garden. The main residence, spanning 2,588 sq.ft., boasts three ensuite bedrooms, including a newly remodeled primary bath with a clawfoot tub, custom lighting, and vintage style floor tiles. A sunlit living room welcomes you inside with a cozy fireplace, floor to ceiling casement windows that open to the courtyard, and a private office space with a view. Alongside, is a stunning sunroom/dining room with Saltillo tiled flooring, grand picture windows, and a Palladian style door/window that opens to the front porch. The vibrant, newly designed chef's kitchen features top-of-the-line appliances, custom cabinetry, and beautiful herringbone tile flooring. There is a seamless blending of indoor/outdoor living with direct access to a private back patio off the adjacent family room; ideal for alfresco entertaining. Tranquil ocean views can be enjoyed from the courtyard, the upstairs bedrooms, as well as their adjoining balcony with its custom pergola shade covers. The secondary residence welcomes you with soaring ceilings, a charming fireplace, two bedrooms with ensuite baths, and a full kitchen. Enjoy gorgeous views of the ocean from the front porch balcony, the living room, and upstairs bedroom. Additionally, a versatile atelier on the property offers flexible creative space, while a 2 car garage and a private entry parking space complete the home- a treasure in one of Santa Barbara's most coveted neighborhoods.
