The mountains rise beyond the pool, and as evening settles in, their slopes fade to lavender. Set on .7 private acres in Park Highlands, this nearly 3,200-square-foot, single-level Mediterranean offers four bedrooms and three and a half baths, with beautiful views in both directions. From the front of the home, the living room, family room, and hallway look out toward the Santa Barbara Channel and beyond Campus Point. At the back, the kitchen, dining room, and bedrooms open to views of the mountains, creating a serene backdrop that shifts with the light throughout the day. A tall sage green front door with a heavy brass handle opens to vaulted ceilings, whitewashed beams, arched windows, plantation shutters, and light, wide-plank wood floors. Fireplaces anchor the living room and family room, giving each its own sense of place. The dining room sits at the center of the home, connecting the kitchen, living room, and family room. Just off the updated kitchen, the breakfast area opens directly to the patio, where mornings start with coffee overlooking the pool and foothills and dinners tend to linger outside. Terracotta-toned tile and white columns line the covered rear porch, opening to a backyard that feels a world away from the front of the house. The pool is woven into the lawn and landscaping, with a putting green beyond, mature fruit trees along the side yard, and the mountains rising behind it all. The sky reflects across the water. The primary suite sits at the end of the bedroom wing, opening to its own quiet corner of the yard, with a remodeled bath and generous walk-in closet. Just off the suite, an additional room currently serves as a music room and catches some of the home's best afternoon light. Two additional bedrooms occupy the same wing, each with mountain views. On the opposite side of the house, a fourth bedroom is currently arranged as an office and has its own bath, creating useful separation for guests or work. The home also includes an oversized three-car garage and the ease of single-level living. It is located in the Mountain View School attendance area, with coffee, groceries, parks, and restaurants all within ten minutes. It's a home that feels removed from the world, while remaining close to everything that makes Santa Barbara special.
