In a picturesque setting high above Santa Barbara, Harbor View's panoramic views are the idyllic backdrop, capturing the essence of peaceful, coastal living. Quiet. Restful. Beautiful. The property resides at the end of a private cul-de-sac above downtown, between the beloved Mesa neighborhoods and Bel Air Knolls on three spectacular hillside acres. Elings Park hiking, biking, dog walking trails, and a gorgeous outdoor wedding venue are nearby, making this a convenient choice for family and friends to stay. It is also a quick, easy drive to downtown and coastal beaches when the plan turns to outdoor fun and adventure. Immediately upon entering, captivating views become the focal point for shared living spaces. Step down into a spacious living room, with volume ceilings and corner windows framing the coastal landscape, the majestic Santa Ynez Mountain range, and the city's historic landmarks below. The dual-sided fireplace separates the living room from the dining area, where the circular dining table creates conversation in the round beside corner view windows. The kitchen is a hub for any meal or snack time. Roast a turkey for a holiday meal, whip up a batch of cookies for an afternoon treat, or bake a birthday cake for that special someone. Anything is possible! Step out the sliding doors to the covered loggia and al fresco dining area. It is a favorable fact that, on average, Santa Barbara boasts nearly 280 days a year of sunshine, so grilling outside on the Santa Maria woodburning grill will make outdoor dining a delicious adventure. Throw on a couple of extra ears of corn, colorful organic peppers, and prime-cut steaks from Lazy Acres Market, and have a feast! The carpeted primary suite is a comfortable sanctuary with a sliding door opening to the views. Lingering in bed may become a tempting daily ritual, with panoramic ocean views adding to the sense of peaceful rest upon waking. Bask in the garden's tranquility, lay in the sunshine on lounge chairs, or indulge in a late-night soak in the spa tub under the stars. The remodeled primary bathroom exudes luxury with a deep soaking tub in front of view windows. A marble tile, glass walk-in shower, and dual sinks add to the indulgent experience, while mirrored closet doors further enhance the light-filled openness of the space. The second bedroom centers on a modern queen-sized platform bed. With its glass shower and white herringbone tile, the remodeled en suite bathroom is scaled down yet on equal par with the primary bathroom. The family room/ office converts to a third bedroom with a comfortable, easy-to-open sofa sleeper and pocket door closing it off from the entry hall. The added convenience of an attached powder bath, a television, a desk, and shady front yard views make this suitable accommodation for any guest. Finally, a turf-carpeted side yard offers an excellent space for the younger guest to run off some excess energy or a perfect place to practice a golf swing or putting technique. There is also parking for two cars in the driveway and a fully outfitted laundry room. Harbor View is far more than its name implies. With nearly 280-degree ocean, mountain, and lush landscape views, every moment is infused with beauty, comfort, and serenity. And never undervalue the ambiance that a carpet of twinkling city lights below adds to the total experience, delivering on the promise of making any time spent here magical. ** Stays exceeding 30 nights will require further approval from Vacation Rentals of Santa Barbara.
