Las Positas stay.Within a 15-minute walk of this Las Positas vacation home, you'll find Elings Park and Arroyo Burro Beach. Earl Warren Showgrounds and Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital are also within 3 miles (5 km).
The home sits at the end of Alan Road bordering the Arroyo Burro Open Space (a 15-acre nature preserve), while Hendry’s Beach and the acclaimed Boathouse Restaurant are only a short 10-minute walk through a quiet, flat neighborhood with sidewalks.
The home is comfortably and thoughtfully furnished, and boasts distinctive amenities such as instant hot water showers (indoor and outdoor), a custom mosaic waterfall spa, an exceptional outdoor fire pit lounge nestled under a covered cedar beam pergola, a built-in 42” Lynx BBQ and bar counter, as well as plenty of beach toys and equipment.
The home features two en suite master bedrooms, each with a king-sized bed. The primary master bathroom is luxurious, featuring an oversized shower, two sinks and finished with white Italian marble throughout. The secondary master bathroom features a glass-enclosed shower with a rain can shower head and a beautiful limestone countertop.
The third bedroom is outfitted with two twin-sized beds and a pop-up twin trundle (which can be converted to a king-sized bed when connected to the daybed) . When all three beds are used, the room is crowded but cozy. The third bathroom (adjacent but unconnected to the third bedroom) features an oversized jetted tub surrounded by elegant marble walls, floors, and countertop. The shower/tub combo contains both a traditional shower head and a mounted hand-held sprayer.
The kitchen was designed with the professional chef in mind, built around a 36” free-standing Wolf range and an exceptional, hand-made walnut butcher block island. Additional features such as a classic ceramic farmhouse sink and Miele dishwasher add to the kitchen’s charm and functionality, while stainless and cast iron cookware, utensils, and speciality items appeal to those serious about the art of cooking.
The heart of the home is found in the combination dining/living room area, a “great room” of sorts, which invites guests to settle in and relax, watch TV, engage in conversation, eat, drink, and entertain indoors and out. The handcrafted indoor extension table comfortably seats up to 10, while an outdoor teak dining table (through French doors off the back wall) can seat an additional 6. A genuine leather couch and 100% wool rug define the room’s quality furnishings, with thoughtful extras such as blankets, pillows, and side tables providing guests with added convenience and comfort. The hand-hewn Santa Barbara sandstone gas fireplace has been outfitted with ceramic fireplace logs for ease of use and maintenance.
When it comes to exploring Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas, convenience is key and Hendry’s Beach House delivers. Downtown Santa Barbara is a mere 7 minute off-freeway drive, a bus stop at the end of Alan Road is a short 8-minute walk from the house, and bike trail access is steps from the front door through the Arroyo Burro Open Space. The Douglas Family Preserve and Elings Park are also within easy walking distance, and those who enjoy a more strenuous uphill walk will be rewarded with coffee shops, restaurants and gourmet food markets at the top of Cliff Drive on the Mesa. Santa Barbara City College, the Santa Barbara Harbor and Waterfront, and Stearns Wharf are also close by.
We look forward to having you stay at our lovely home and explore all that beautiful Santa Barbara has to offer!
