1512 Hillcrest Road, Santa Barbara CA 93103

Imagine living in a beautiful treehouse with bird’s-eye views of the magnificent Santa Ynez Mountains. From your aerie you witness spectacular sunrises and the continuous play of light and shadows across the peaks. Often, wisps or banks of fog make their presence known. On clear nights, you marvel at the moon slowly traversing the star-filled sky.

A Home Designed in Perfect Harmony with Nature

The perfect architectural style for your treehouse is Mid-century modern; a style captured flawlessly in this singular home on approximately an acre in Santa Barbara’s highly desirable upper Riviera.

Privacy and Tranquility at the Entry

This residence was designed with utmost privacy and tranquility in mind. At the entry, the initial façade is that of a low-profile two-car garage and understated portico nestled among mature trees. Passing through, you arrive at an open deck where a pair of towering trees emerge—nature’s sentries offering gossamer shade and the soothing sound of leaves quaking in the breeze. The deck is one of many, providing multiple venues for entertaining or quiet contemplation.

A Great Room Showcasing Mountain Vistas

Entering the home, one is instantly immersed in the spaciousness and light of the bi-level great room, where every window and door frames a stunning mountain view. This glorious space, with its soaring vaulted ceiling—wood-slatted, beamed, and bisected by clerestory windows—encompasses the entryway, kitchen, dining, and living areas. Large picture windows, oversize sliding glass doors, and a dramatic stone fireplace flanked by floor-to-ceiling windows amplify the home’s indoor-outdoor connection.

A Primary Suite Sanctuary

The spacious and private primary suite, commanding its own level of the home and its own wraparound deck, hosts a sitting area, fireplace, and separate office landing. Its spa-inspired bath, complete with a soaking tub overlooking the natural surroundings, enhances the suite’s serene and restorative atmosphere.

Thoughtful Updates and Future Potential

Throughout the property, recent improvements abound, including upgrades to plumbing, electrical, hardware, and fixtures, as well as the garage and laundry room. New exterior lighting has been added, along with a new roof. Additionally, plans for an ADU are available, offering future flexibility and value.
