Tucked behind the privacy of mature trees and thoughtful landscaping is a Santa Barbara dream—the Old San Marcos contemporary ranch-style home at 868 N. San Marcos Road.
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and over 400 square feet of bright light beaming in through the sunroom, the home has been exceptionally cared for and gracefully updated through the years to include an array of beautiful touches, such as natural wood flooring and refreshed paint throughout.
The kitchen features a gorgeous marble backsplash, large cast-iron sink, and intentionally crafted cabinetry. The shared bathroom has been tastefully updated to include custom vanity cabinets, stone counters, and stunning tilework in the walk-in shower. And the sunroom spans the length of the home, allowing for a seamless flow from the kitchen or the primary bedroom.
Whichever way you enter, you’ll be met with bright light and an impressive backyard view. From the challenging putting green to the custom-made chicken coop, the yard has something for everyone. After practicing your putting, cool off in the pool or take a relaxing dip in the spa.
When it’s time to settle down, grab a seat in the tea patio and watch red tail hawks soar between the mature trees while you listen as the songbirds visit the flowers. Landscaped for sustainability and low maintenance, the yard includes native plants, low-flow irrigation, and the natural predator control of an owl box. The property is about a half acre of land, and everywhere you look, you’ll find something that dazzles.
868 N. San Marcos Road is being offered at $2,375,000. Please stop by this weekend, February 11 and 12, for a pre–Super Bowl open house from 12 p.m. to 3 p.m. We’ll be serving Blue Corn Tacos! Or to schedule a visit, contact Abel Ramos at 805-590-1636, @abelwithcompass, or [email protected].
