Tropical Garden Hideaway in Mission Canyon 

This comfortable 3bdrm/2bath stucco bungalow affords an abundance of  privacy in the midst of the hillside enclave of Mission Canyon Heights. Nestled among towering pine and oak trees, it is perfect for al fresco living with its expansive deck and multi-terraced back patio, circular gas fire pit, rose arbor and lush plantings of palms, Mexican sage, citrus, succulents, agaves and giant birds of paradise.

Descending from the street level via a citrus and jasmine-lined staircase parallel to the driveway, one is greeted by a giant Queen Ann palm that guards the front deck and entrance. Inside, the living room and dining room are warmed by hardwood floors and share a wrap-around glass-enclosed gas fireplace with raised travertine hearth for seating. The living room boasts a large bay window with a recess-lighted window seat.  Double French doors lead from the dining room to park-like outdoors.  Wood cabinets, granite countertops and stainless steel appliances grace the kitchen, including a restaurant style gas range with a pre-cast stucco hood.

The three bedrooms are nicely separated with the master bedroom on one side with sliding French doors to the front deck and a ceramic tiled bath with shower and tub. On the other side of the main living area is a second bathroom with a corner tile shower stall and granite-top antiqued wood vanity and a second bedroom that opens to the back deck. 

The third bedroom has Saltillo tile floors and the unique features of a wet bar with built-in storage unit and a sky-lit loft ideal for sleeping or storing items. It also has wood sliding doors to a front deck. An attractive separate structure in the back could be used as a small office or storage room. 

A short drive away are the Botanical Gardens, the Natural History Museum, Santa Barbara Mission & Rose Garden, a number of canyon hiking trails and downtown shopping and restaurants.
