The upper-level end unit of 865 square feet has high, vaulted ceilings, a fluid circular floor plan, a patio with storage closet and mountain panoramas, ample guest parking, and an exceptionally private location. Inspired by Santa Barbara's signature coastal-Spanish style, no detail was overlooked in the recreation of this perfect beachside haven. The fireplace has been transformed with a chic white chimney surround and mantel alongside a contrasting black limestone hearth and inlay, while the bathroom features a sleek walk-in shower, black limestone flooring, and all-new lights, vanity, and fixtures. The kitchen has been fully renovated with an improved breakfast bar, new cabinetry, terrazzo quartz counters, a stainless steel sink and appliances, and a hidden combo washer-dryer with storage (plus hookups for a second set in the guest bedroom closet). The kitchen's marble-like floors coordinate with the soft, gray tones of the new pet-proof carpet installed throughout. Much of the electrical and plumbing have been upgraded, and a tankless water heater was installed to free up space in a kitchen closet that is now a hidden pantry with a pivoting door and abundant shelving. A striking arched window in the living room, among numerous others, welcomes abundant natural light while a variety of satin-gold fixtures on dimmers cast a romantic glow for quiet evenings fireside.
