Supplements: This distinctive San Roque property was recently redesigned and reimagined to perfection with painstaking attention to detail and a high-end aesthetic in mind. The extensive renovation sought to preserve both homes' Spanish authenticity with such finishes as plaster walls, exposed wood ceiling beams, oak hardwood floors, Spanish and Italian tile, and modern fixtures -- all while incorporating clean lines, contemporary conveniences, and a timeless style. Energy-efficient tankless water heaters, insulated Low-E Milgard replacement windows, state-of-the-art appliances, LED interior/exterior and landscape lighting, low-flow automated irrigation, drought-tolerant landscaping, a complete modernization of gas and water lines, minimalist window shades, and an open-flow floor plan are among the recent improvements. Beneath 10-ft ceilings and anchored by a beautiful custom tiled fireplace, the airy living room in the main house sets a tone of relaxed elegance that radiates through the contemporary, neutral interior. A custom five-piece, hand-blown chandelier accents the adjacent dining room, which is flanked by both an office nook and mirrored-tile wet bar with wine fridge. The three bedrooms, one of which features French doors that open to the backyard, offer exceptional privacy and comfort, and the bathrooms gleam with Carrera marble surfaces. Marble counters, a farmhouse sink, and custom glass-fronted display cabinetry are a few of the sophisticated upgrades in the redesigned kitchen, which also overlooks the grounds. A custom wood-framed, tri-fold glass door system completely opens the kitchen to a new TimberTech entertaining deck, creating an expansive indoor/outdoor living space. A captivating array of tropical landscaping and decorative accents, including an Italian wall fountain, modern concrete pavers, and a matching in-ground fire pit along with lighted bocce ball court combine to create a resort-style oasis. The property's expansive double lot, among the largest in the area, has been artfully developed to carve out entertainment spaces while ensuring a seamless flow throughout. Soaring foliage encapsulates the private, sun-soaked pool area, which was recently redesigned by Macaluso Pools and includes modern concrete, glass tile, shimmering inlaid mother-of-pearl pebble-final plaster, arching stream fountains, rotating-color LED lighting, an expansive Baja sunbathing shelf, digital pool filter, heater, and an automated water fill system. Adjacent to the pool is a second lounge area, complete with a matching concrete and tile fire pit and pre-plumbed hot tub platform. At night, an elaborate lighting system transforms the scene into a luminescent oasis. Accessible near the pool is the completely renovated guest house, which was recently reconfigured to function as a self-contained living space with modern kitchen, luxurious full bath, high ceilings, spacious bedroom, living room and storage. This multi-functional living space can be utilized for poolside entertaining, separate guest quarters, a gathering space to watch the big game or an income-generating rental. Complete with Peabody Elementary attendance, an ideal location near Upper State Street, accessory dwelling unit (ADU) potential, and a vacation-home appeal, this spectacular property is a hidden paradise in the heart of Santa Barbara.
