Ideally located on the coveted Santa Barbara Mesa-- only 2 blocks to Leadbetter Beach, the Harbor, Shoreline Park, and Santa Barbara City College--this exquisitely redesigned coastal retreat blends architectural sophistication with modern comfort. Positioned on a 5,200 SF lot within the sought-after Washington School District, the property offers exceptional appeal for both homeowners and investors, with strong rental demand from SBCC and families alike. Taken down to the studs and fully rebuilt with permits, this stunning 2-bedroom, 2-bath residence (plus an additional extra bedroom/office/loft room in the detached garage) showcases vaulted ceilings, exposed steel and wood beams, and a dramatic peninsula fireplace that anchors the open-concept living space.
