There are certain streets in Santa Barbara that I have fallen in love with over the years and Glendessary Lane is one of them! It is a rare offering to come across a property for sale in this neighborhood and on this street a very opportune occurrence. Pronounced, 'Glenda'' ''Sarry'' by those who are lucky enough to live there, the name is said to have Scottish origins.
Consisting of only 50 homes, this private lane is tucked away in the flats of Mission Canyon and is frequently walked on by neighbors and homeowners on the lane. There is a little lending library that first greets you as you meander down the way.
This home, is in impeccable condition and has been lovingly maintained for many years. As you enter onto the property down the permeable driveway with sandstone curbs, you feel the quality of the place immediately.
Enter into the home and take in the calming colors of the living room with a fireplace and unique skylight above. The dining room looks out over an expansive garden through floor to ceiling windows and French doors. The kitchen is the heart of the home with shelves filled with cookbooks and jars , and offering two ovens that have most certainly baked years of cookies and meals.
There are three bedrooms, one currently used as a home office and two full bathrooms. The primary bedroom has an en-suite bathroom and good sized walk-in closet as well as a door to one of the outside seating areas.
The yard is truly something to behold. Filled with roses, lavender, mature shade trees as well as many fruit trees; orange, lime, apple, apricot and persimmon. There is plenty of room for gardening and play. A future buyer might choose to have a chicken coop or install a hot tub and/or pool and there would still be plenty of yard space.
The house is solidly built, made up of cinder block construction with the front facade covered by wooden board and batten. The roof is in impeccable condition, as are the plumbing and electrical systems. Truly all that is needed to move in is your toothbrush!
2829 Glendessary Lane is a gem of a property!
