RARE SANTA BARBARA ARCHITECTURE | PRIVATE 20-HOME GATED ENCLAVE | FULL SECOND HOME ON PROPERTY

Tucked within the coveted gated enclave of Cheney Place, an intimate community of just 20 residences, this exceptional Santa Barbara estate pairs timeless architectural character with charming modern updates on a nearly one-acre lot. A grand arrival framed by eight date palms sets the tone for interiors defined by soaring 18-foot ceilings, rich wide-plank oak flooring, intricate millwork, a charming fireplace, and 10-foot Pella French doors that provide exceptional indoor-outdoor living. The thoughtfully designed floor plan includes a distinguished wood-paneled office with coffered ceilings, an inviting formal dining room, and four en suite bedrooms, each opening to its own private patio. The expansive primary suite offers generous dual closets, a beautifully renovated bath with a steam shower, and a versatile bonus room ideal for a private fitness studio, additional office, or creative space. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is built for serious cooking and entertaining, with two oversized islands, a 6-burner cooktop with grill, dual ovens, dual warming drawers, dual microwaves, dual dishwashers and sinks, dual wine coolers, extensive Sub-Zero refrigeration with dual freezers and additional refrigerator drawers, and a substantial walk-in pantry, while pass-through windows connect seamlessly to the outdoor bar. Adding remarkable versatility, a full 1,008 sq ft second home on the property lives as a complete independent residence with its own kitchen, laundry, living room, spacious bedroom, and private side yard. Outdoors, a spa, heated pool with cascading waterfall, tranquil lagoon, multiple covered patios, outdoor kitchen, fire pit, fireplace-equipped ramada, and wood-burning side yard fireplace create distinct spaces for entertaining and retreat, enhanced by two outdoor TVs, surround sound throughout the house and yard, and dual-headed indoor and outdoor showers. An expansive grassy side yard and mature landscaping with flowers and palm trees provide exceptional privacy. A temperature-controlled four-car garage adds another layer of everyday convenience, while extensive improvements, including renovated bathrooms, updated oak flooring, upgraded Pella windows and doors, refreshed water features, and two HVAC replacements in 2025, reflect continued investment in the property. Moments from Scottsdale Road and some of the area's most sought-after shopping and dining, this is a rare convergence of architectural distinction, generous grounds, a full second home, and a level of privacy increasingly difficult to find.
