929 Cheltenham:  Big Sur Meets Santa Barbara Contemporary

Picture an earthy palette of wood, Saltillo tile and an abundance of glass perched high on a Mission Canyon hillside.  Take in the majestic view of the ocean & islands and the green lushness of Santa Barbara creating the effect of a vibrantly alive landscape painting that graces every room in the house.  This warm contemporary 2 bedroom/2 ½ bath home was designed to enjoy that stunning view equally from inside to outside, with a full-length wood deck in front leading to a large entertainment deck and a covered outdoor living room.

A vaulted, open-beam ceiling and floor-to-ceiling walls of glass on three sides give the living room a soaring spaciousness, while an open-step wood staircase to the 2^nd floor adds to the visual sense of elevation.  Wide-plank oak floors and a gas fireplace with marble hearth and wood mantel add a note of coziness, making this room a perfect place to relax and meditate on the view. Never leaving that soul-nourishing view, take one step up onto a gleaming Saltillo tile floor that flows through the open-design dining area and kitchen.  Marvel at how the view is also reflected in the mirrored wall of the dining area.  Brightly lit with overhead recessed lighting and a large decorative-tile-trimmed opening to the living room & ocean view, the kitchen has new stainless-steel appliances, plenty of cabinetry and a breakfast bar.  A large laundry room with deep sink & door to the garage and a powder room complete the downstairs.

 Upstairs, the master suite echoes the soaring effect of the living room with vaulted open-beam ceiling, extra-large window with window seat for contemplating the ocean view, and a free-standing Swedish gas fireplace.  The spacious open-style bathroom has a separate glass-enclosed shower, a deep soaking tub with decorative tile surround and a large wood-paneled walk-in closet.  The second bedroom also has a Southwest-facing ocean view and shares a connecting bathroom with an open loft-style office or exercise room that could easily be converted into a 3^rd bedroom. This inspiring home is only minutes away from the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens, Natural History Museum, the Mission, beautiful Arroyo Burro Beach and many shopping & dining areas including downtown Santa Barbara.
