98 Loma Media Rd, Santa Barbara, CA 93103

Whether it’s dining alfresco under one of the magnificent oaks or capturing your breath after it’s been taken away by the sweeping view of ocean, islands, and Santa Barbara plain from the expansive veranda, you will likely fall in love with this beautiful residence in Santa Barbara’s Riviera neighborhood. Gentle hill and level land comprise the approximately 1.46-acre property: a rare find in this highly sought-after area.

The primary residence – a warm, welcoming single-level Spanish ranch-style home hosting two bedrooms and two baths – provides the opportunity to maintain or reimagine its charming ambiance and boundless versatility. A wealth of windows and glass doors combine with vaulted open wood-beam and slat ceilings to allow for an abundance of natural light. In the living room, a dramatic fireplace features a floor-to-ceiling rock surround.

The separate approximately 500 square-foot studio with bath above the two-car garage has ocean and treetop vistas from its balcony, and is a perfect space for guests, a home office, or a creative or exercise studio. In addition to the spacious garage, there is parking for six cars.

The premier location above scenic Alameda Padre Serra and just minutes from downtown Santa Barbara, schools and services, combines with the property’s myriad possibilities to make this a wonderful candidate for a year-round home or investment property.
