Premier Model Residence in Riviera Heights. The largest and most distinctive home in the community, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers a rare combination of an expanded floor plan, sweeping panoramic ocean, island and city views, and what is widely regarded as one of the finest locations in the complex. Originally built as the model home, the residence features a unique layout and the only finished lower level in the community--currently used as a gym and equally suited for an office, media room, hobby space or additional storage. Fittingly located on Paseo Alicante--named after the picturesque Mediterranean coastal city in Spain--the home embodies the relaxed elegance and coastal lifestyle that make Santa Barbara so special. Abundant natural light fills the interiors, while vaulted ceilings enhance the spacious living room, where a fireplace and sliding glass doors open to a view deck overlooking the coastline, islands and city below. Expansive views continue through the dining room and kitchen, creating an extraordinary backdrop throughout the main living spaces.
Thoughtfully updated with quality finishes and timeless style over the past several years, the home offers an exceptional floor plan designed for comfortable everyday living and effortless entertaining. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and dual vanities. A private guest suite is conveniently located off the entry, while an additional guest bedroom and full hall bath provide excellent separation and privacy for family or visitors. A powder room conveniently serves the main living level.
Casa Riviera residents enjoy beautifully maintained grounds and a community pool, all just moments from the Santa Barbara Mission, El Encanto, downtown Santa Barbara, restaurants, shopping and beaches. With its premier location, expansive views, largest floor plan and unique lower level, this is a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable communities.
