Set on 1.29 usable acres in Santa Barbara’s Yankee Farm enclave, this Spanish Hacienda-style residence offers a rare combination of seclusion and proximity — moments from Hendry’s Beach and the Mesa, with the coastline and its rhythms never far from reach. Built in 1996 and thoughtfully finished throughout, the 3,676-square-foot home offers three bedrooms plus an office, and 6 bathrooms. Saltillo tile flooring and Talavera tile accents carry the Hacienda character through the main living spaces, and a striking two-way fireplace anchors the living and family rooms in a warm, textural centerpiece. The kitchen has been updated with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, walnut cabinetry, and a walk-in pantry – equal parts refined and functional.The primary suite occupies the main level, opening directly onto a covered patio for easy indoor-outdoor living and quiet mornings outdoors. Dual bathrooms and an expansive walk-in closet complete the primary. Upstairs, a private guest suite offers its own balcony with sweeping views of the ocean and Channel Islands – a graceful retreat for visitors or extended family. A spacious study offers flexible space and easily accommodates a work-from-home lifestyle or a 4th bedroom. With an attached, oversized three-car garage and multiple parking spaces along the private driveway, guest parking is never a squeeze.The grounds unfold and offer considerable room to breathe – mature trees, open gently-sloping topography oriented toward the ocean, and a natural, unhurried landscape that awaits a discerning hand to bring it fully to life. For a buyer with vision, shaping these grounds is part of the opportunity, pairing the privacy of the setting with the chance to create something entirely their own, just moments from Santa Barbara’s finest beaches.
