Providing resort-like luxury for the 55+ homeowner, the Barry Berkus-designed Shadow Hills gated community brings to Santa Barbara paradise an abundance of conveniences amid the scenery of its bucolic, foothills setting. Extensively updated by Giffin & Crane and Reed Interiors, this 2BD/2BA upper-level condo features such sleek style upgrades as oak floors, natural stone, extensive shelving/storage, a gourmet kitchen with Thermador appliances, laundry room, A/C, and picturesque views from virtually every room. Impressive windows, soaring ceilings, and south-facing exposure ensure plentiful natural light throughout the open floor plan of 1,677 sq ft, which consists of an entry hall flanked by two bedroom suites and generous living/dining areas that flow toward the kitchen and patio overlooking verdant foliage, palm trees, and blue skies. The primary suite is especially lavish with a walk-in closet and bathroom with shower, soaking tub, and dual vanity. Set in a private, cul-de-sac location, the unit has few shared walls with minimal exposure to other buildings and enjoys elevator access from both the secure lobby and two underground garage spaces. Shadow Hills is impeccably maintained and offers residents a state-of-the-art pool and spa, well-equipped gym, tennis courts, clubhouse, and a citrus orchard. Located minutes to restaurants, shopping, golf, beaches, parks, walking trails, and downtown Santa Barbara, this development is perfect as a lock-and-leave getaway or an elegant retirement retreat.
