Set on a quiet, gently elevated street just above town, 700 Chiquita offers the rare combination of privacy, views and proximity. A home that feels tucked away from the everyday, while keeping Santa Barbara wonderfully close at hand. There is an almost European quality to the setting: peaceful, leafy and intimate, with a sense of discovery as the city opens below. Framed views stretch across Santa Barbara with glimpses of the ocean beyond, creating a backdrop that feels inspiring without ever feeling far removed. The street itself adds to the appeal. Flat, quiet and easy to access, it has a relaxed residential character along with ample on-street parking for guests, offering the charm of an elevated setting with the convenience of being close to town. The main residence occupies.. ...the upper level, where two bedrooms and one bath accompany an open living and dining area oriented toward the view. Glass doors lead to a generous deck, extending the living space outside and creating a natural perch above the city, ideal for morning coffee, dinner at sunset or simply taking in the changing light. The home presents an inviting opportunity for its next owner to thoughtfully reimagine the interiors and make the property distinctly their own. Its uncomplicated layout, indoor-outdoor connection and exceptional setting provide the foundation for something truly special. Below, a private one-bedroom suite opens to its own secluded patio among the trees. Currently separate from the main house, it offers flexibility for guests, work or creative space, while providing the opportunity to reconnect the two levels and create a unified residence. But the real luxury here is the setting. Close to town. Close to nature. Quiet, private and just elevated enough to take in the view. 700 Chiquita is a place for someone drawn to character over convention. A home with the potential to be transformed around the way they want to live, in a setting where the views inspire, the surroundings restore, and Santa Barbara remains just moments away.
