Welcome home! 1440 Portesuello Avenue offers relaxed single-level living, sweeping mountain and city views, and an exceptional indoor-outdoor experience designed to enjoy Santa Barbara from sunrise to sunset. Beautifully remodeled in 2018, this 2,024 sq. ft. home features an open, comfortable floor plan connecting the living and dining areas with a spacious kitchen centered around a large island. Natural light and expansive views create an inviting backdrop throughout the home. The residence is currently configured as two bedrooms and two full baths, highlighted by a primary suite that features views and access to the backyard. A former third bedroom was thoughtfully incorporated into the primary suite to create a generous walk-in closet and a dedicated laundry room. For a future owner who prefers a traditional three-bedroom configuration, the space could be converted back to accommodate their needs. The primary bath includes dual sinks, a separate tub, and a walk-in shower. The real showstopper is the backyard. An expansive low-maintenance synthetic deck takes full advantage of the property's dramatic mountain, city and sunset views, creating multiple areas for relaxing, gathering and entertaining. A step-in hot tub is seamlessly recessed into the deck, while a large gazebo provides an inviting setting for outdoor dining. A detached 200 sq. ft. finished shed provides additional flex space and enjoys its own deck and mountain views. Currently outfitted with a kitchenette and three-quarter bath, it offers useful possibilities as a home office, creative space, or play room. Located just a few minutes from Eling's Park, Hendry's Beach, The Boathouse Restaurant, and the Douglas Preserve this home combines privacy, views, easy single-level living and an outdoor experience that you have to come and see to truly appreciate!
