Privately sequestered behind gates and a sweeping circular drive in the exclusive Park Highlands neighborhood, this reimagined Spanish Revival estate offers nearly 4,400 square feet of artfully designed living space, plus a 546-square-foot pool house – all set on a lush, beautifully landscaped acre with ocean views. Originally built in 1990 and masterfully remodeled in 2024 under the direction of renowned local designer Kisha Gianni, the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath main residence blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. From wire-brushed French oak hardwood floors and custom marble-topped vanities to a grand double shower featuring an oversized window that frames the newly designed landscaping, every finish has been thoughtfully curated. Functional upgrades include a new roof and gutters, extensive drainage improvements, partial replacement of windows and doors, and a host of additional system updates to ensure modern comfort. At the heart of the home, a dramatic plaster fireplace anchors the spacious living room, where vaulted ceilings and ocean views enhance the sense of volume and light. This space flows seamlessly into a formal dining room and an elegant foyer. An adjoining family room with vaulted, beamed ceilings and a thoughtfully renovated kitchen completes the open-plan layout. A cleverly hidden door in the family room reveals a secret storage area – ideal for a wine collection, electronics, or the potential addition of another full bath. Appointed for the culinary enthusiast, the kitchen features Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Wolf appliances – including a 60-inch, six-burner double-oven range – plus a pot filler, wine refrigerator, and a breakfast island enveloped in hand-cut zellige tile and quartz countertops. A custom sliding pass-through window connects the kitchen directly to the outdoor living area, enhancing the seamless indoor-outdoor experience. The single-level floor plan continues with a dedicated primary suite wing, where a cozy fireplace, private office, custom motorized shades, and direct backyard access with a nearby spa create a true retreat. The spa-inspired bath includes radiant-heated marble floors, a double walk-in shower, dual vanities, a California Closets-designed walk-in closet, and refined finishes throughout. A separate guest wing hosts three spacious bedrooms, each with beamed, vaulted ceilings and walk-in closets. Step outside and discover a yard that evokes the feel of a five-star resort. Towering palms, vibrant bougainvillea, and radiant landscaping frame a dazzling pool, stone spa, oversized fire pit, and expansive flagstone terraces. Whether hosting large-scale gatherings or enjoying intimate evenings al fresco, the setting is ideal for effortless entertaining. A covered veranda and outdoor kitchen provide the perfect backdrop for lively celebrations or quiet relaxation, while the pool house with its own fireplace, steam room, and three-quarter bath – offers an elevated experience for guests or wellness retreats. The property is serviced by well water for a cost-effective supply and includes a three-car garage. Located just moments from Tucker’s Grove Park and within the sought-after Mountain View School District, this exceptional estate offers an unmatched blend of privacy, sophistication, and resort-style living in one of Santa Barbara’s most coveted neighborhoods.
