Coastal Cottage In Prime Location And Exceptional Views!

Experience sweeping, panoramic ocean views from this 1960's coastal cottage situated between the Mesa and Hope Ranch in Santa Barbara. Elevated above the Pacific, the property captures unobstructed 180-degree vistas spanning Hendry’s Beach, the Douglas Preserve, Eling’s Park, and the Santa Ynez Mountains.
Set at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac shared by only ten homes, this 1,800 sq. ft. residence enjoys exceptional privacy and a truly remarkable setting. Originally built in 1961, the home remains largely in its original condition. While dated, it offers newer carpet, newer interior paint, classic mid-century lines, and an irreplaceable outlook—an ideal option for a tenant seeking a special view property in a premier coastal neighborhood.
There is an attached 2-car carport and a detached 2-car garage. Additionally, there is ample parking on the paver driveway.
