Price just reduced! This property offers exceptional value and is ideally positioned in the middle of the development, away from the freeway. A dream come true for the buyer seeking both urban convenience and coastal bliss, this recently updated 2-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom luxury townhome is ideally positioned next to the uplifting energy of the Funk Zone, yet also within two blocks of the beach. Palm trees and vibrant landscaping accentuate the pristine Spanish-style façade of the 1,696 square-foot condo, which is sequestered in the heart of the development. A private pedestrian gate opens to a shaded gravel courtyard next to the front porch - an inviting and tranquil nook perfect for relaxation. The light-flooded interiors, located above the foyer and two-car garage with interior access, showcase a blend of Andalusian and Spanish styles. Bull-nosed Venetian plaster walls, star-crossed hearth tiles, and distressed Saltillo tile floors create a warm, inviting living space with rich sunset tones. The kitchen incorporates finishes such as quartz counters, a breakfast bar island, and stainless-steel appliances, including a Miele dishwasher, providing a modern complement to the otherwise traditional aesthetic. The main level also features a powder room, a dedicated laundry room, a guest suite, and a small balcony for barbecuing, offering a glimpse of the happenings along Yanonali Street. The uppermost level boasts the secluded primary suite, which includes a bathroom with a walk-in closet, dual vanity, and both a shower and a soaking tub. French doors lead to a spacious patio that extends along the roofline of the complex and provides a stunning backdrop of the mountains and Riviera. Situated a mile from the harbor and blocks from State Street, and next door to the most cherished local wineries, breweries, boutiques, and restaurants, Villa Del Mar is a quintessential portrait of Santa Barbara's architectural heritage, reinforced by a truly unbeatable location.
