A home is a place that brings people comfort, togetherness, and "joie de vivre," joy of living! La Maison Mesa, located on a quiet street in the heart of a beloved Mesa neighborhood in Santa Barbara, is just such a place. The space Behind a French blue door and all on one level, the home's rooms have intentional, relaxed individuality. Most notably, two full-size primary suites on opposite ends of the house create ideal accommodations. The centrally located living and dining areas are connected, and set up perfectly for guests to gather together for meals, movies, and more. Sliding doors open to a spacious, tropical-feeling backyard with bistro lights, a dining table, a barbecue, and a hot tub. Tidy landscaping, towering shade trees and a lush lawn create a very pretty year-round oasis for enjoying the mild climate here. Feel like staying in and cooking? The galley kitchen's six-burner European-style Forno gas stove and the butcher block counter set the stage for an inspired meal from the pages of Bon Appetit. With a local's favorite Mesa Produce just down the street, the freshest organic fruits and veggies will become inspiration for a healthy and delicious vacation menu. Grab a hearty loaf of Oat Bakery bread too. Delicious! The main primary suite, with a king-size bed, a smartly organized walk-in closet, tv, and swivel chair seating, also has a slider that opens to the backyard. The en suite bathroom with two sinks and a walk-in shower completes the suite offerings. The other two bedrooms of this wing face the front yard, each outfitted with queen-size beds and sharing a hall bathroom. As is typical with many Santa Barbara homes, this property does not have AC. Open windows and the use of fans allow ocean breezes in to keep the house cool during hot summer months. The secondary suite on the opposite side of the home is spacious, bright, and equal in size and stature to the primary. In addition, there is a television, and an en suite bathroom with a shower. The added benefit of an outside entrance offers added privacy and autonomy for guests. Views of the Xeriscape front garden in contrast to the stunning Santa Ynez mountains make this east wing special. There is a laundry with front-loading washer, dryer, and utility sink too. The covered carport just outside offers convenient off-street parking Ocean beaches are all within a short stroll, a brisk walk, or a brief drive away. However, walking down the street to Mesa Lane Steps is an absolute must, offering a dramatic ascent to an exceptional and beloved beach; wait for low tide to experience the most amazing tide pools. Nearby Hendry's Beach and The Wilcox Preserve attract locals and visitors; energetic pups are always invited too! In the opposite direction, Shoreline Park and the stunning south-facing beaches are a coastal playground of activity and adventure to be experienced. Here for a special event at Santa Barbara City College? It's a five minute drive. There is no better place to settle in and live like a local than La Maison Mesa. "Bienvenu!" Welcome!
