Offered for the first time in 40 years, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own a panoramic ocean view property on the Mesa. Every so often, a property comes to market that captures what Santa Barbara living is all about, and this is one of them! Perched at the top of upper La Marina on a quiet cul-de-sac, this south-facing single-level residence enjoys breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean, the Channel Islands, the Santa Ynez Mountains, and the Santa Barbara Harbor. Set on an expansive 0.40-acre parcel, the home offers approximately 1,676 sq. ft. of living space with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, an attached two-car garage, and a paver driveway.
