This custom built, three story, A-frame resides in the coveted Mountain View Elementary school boundary of Santa Barbara. This home would also make a great second home. Its location puts it near beaches, wine tasting, hiking, the casino, Cold Springs Tavern, Lake Cachuma and so much more. The main level offers an open floor plan, volume ceilings, and French doors that open to a wraparound deck. This level also includes the kitchen, a bedroom with private patio, and a large bathroom with modern vessel sink and spacious shower. The top level boasts two bedrooms and a bathroom, including the large primary suite with its own balcony, plus ocean and island views. Downstairs includes an additional room (or bedroom) with private entrance, bathroom, laundry area and garage access, perfect for a flexible floor plan. The garage includes a custom-built workbench along its entirety and built-in shelving throughout. The layout of the almost completely flat lot allows for raising your own garden or orchard, entertaining friends and family, or finding quiet solitude in nature. Other perks include a detached 100-sq-ft finished office space (or craft room, workshop, she shed, man cave, yoga room) in the front yard, a storage shed in the back yard, room for RV parking, exceptional hiking/biking options from the neighborhood, and an incredibly welcoming community. Located within the coveted Painted Cave community, this hidden gem is only a 15-minute scenic commute from the city limits of Santa Barbara and Goleta.
