The classic home offers beautiful ocean and city views and is surrounded by colorful landscaping that is meticulously maintained. Delightful pops of color and Talavera-style tile accents fill the space and add to the Spanish charm.

Relax in the spacious living room, with a fireplace and copious amounts of natural light. The kitchen is well-equipped for even the most discerning family chef, and the dining area offers plenty of space to enjoy every meal and savor the moments.

Catch some "zzz’s" on the comfortable king-size bed in the primary bedroom, and wake up to ocean views! Through French doors, a spacious, sun-drenched terrace captures the essence of Santa Barbara living with monumental ocean, island, and city views. Perch on the bistro table to linger over a rich cup of locally roasted coffee at sunrise or relax and unwind at sunset on the outdoor sectional under the shady pergola. There is no better place to begin or end the day. 

The second bedroom boasts a queen-size bed and garden views, and the third bedroom with an en suite bathroom has a twin daybed with a trundle pull-out. For added autonomy, just outside this room is a door to the backyard creating a semi-private entrance. The laundry, too, is just off this room and the kitchen. 

The backyard is a calming oasis with a large, fully fenced, stamped-concrete patio area. Recently curated, an outdoor dining room features a year-round, palapa-style structure, hand-carved door accents, and bistro lights on a remote that can be altered to match the mood of the meal. For the grill master, there is a custom-built, round Santa Maria-style wood-burning grill and a propane barbecue. Two hammocks offer the inviting option for tandem afternoon naps, another four-top dining table expands the dining options, and after hours, gather around the fire pit for a bit of star-gazing and quiet conversation. 

Finally, there is covered parking adjacent to the entry walkway beneath the front terrace. A welcoming set of four Adirondack chairs offers an alternative spot to hang out in front, and enjoy the views, and each other.

This retreat is nestled along an established road leading into the Riviera and is conveniently located within just a few minutes of downtown, the beach, and the Mission. Villa Talavera is a true oasis for those coming to Santa Barbara for an extended stay, hoping to live like a local while enjoying the authentic architecture and accessible design.
