Set within the park-like grounds of Cathedral Oaks Village Association, this home feels like a world apart. 20+ acres of beautifully maintained common space surround the neighborhood, including a 2 acre avocado orchard that gives the whole setting an almost pastoral quality. It's the kind of place that slows you down the moment you arrive. The single-level home itself is extensively remodeled and completely turnkey. High ceilings and all-new flooring run throughout, giving every room a fresh, airy quality. The kitchen has been thoughtfully reimagined from the ground up, showcasing quality materials, elevated finishes, and the kind of craftsmanship that holds up to a close look. Equally impressive is the primary suite: vaulted ceilings, generous proportions, and direct access to the yard make it feel like a genuine retreat. A new Bosch HVAC means year-round comfort is simply a given. Outside, two expansive patios are set up for the way we live in Santa Barbara - morning coffee, long lunches, evening gatherings that stretch well past sunset. The indoor/outdoor flow is seamless, and the single-level floor plan makes all of it effortless to navigate. Back within the COVA community, the amenities are genuinely impressive: a heated pool and spa, tennis and pickleball courts, a spacious clubhouse, dog run areas, and RV storage. For those looking to simplify without sacrificing, this one is hard to argue with.
