Overview
Description
Supplements: ... (Read more) Despite the prestigious top-floor location, this home could function as a single level home due to the nearby elevators within each building. The unit has been updated to evoke a laid-back beach aesthetic. The lovely kitchen offers new stainless steel appliances and a custom backsplash reminiscent of sea glass. A large breakfast bar creates a pass through to the living room and along with the skylight provides excellent light in the kitchen. The living room continues the beach theme with a brightly colored accent wall and a large sliding door that looks out to mountain views and the lush tropical landscaping of the complex. The amply sized patio allows for outdoor dining while enjoying the peaceful sound of the fountain below for a truly tranquil setting. The spacious bedroom has plenty of room for dressers and storage, and includes a walk-in closet. The bathroom features beautiful tile work and a custom tub enclosure. A stackable washer and dryer (2 years old) are located in the hall closet and are included in the sale. The pristine amenities of the El Escorial community are some of the best in Santa Barbara. From the sparkling pool, with its large sun deck and nearby spa to the fully equipped health center, residents can truly enjoy "Vacation Style Living" year round. Other luxurious amenities include two tennis courts, a BBQ area with picnic tables and a club house with an entertainment system, dining area and offices. A staffed guard house protects the entrance of the complex, and additional security gates around the amenities ensure that they are always available for the sole use of residents and their guests. The incredible location of El Escorial makes it one of the most sought-after complexes in Santa Barbara. Situated across the street from East Beach, the complex is just steps to the sand! Numerous volleyball courts, the East Beach Grill and the ocean's waves are waiting to be explored. Additionally, the Santa Barbara Zoo borders the property on the north side--a fun attraction for guests visiting from out of town. Shuttles and buses are available nearby to take you to Montecito/Coast Village Rd (1.5 miles) or downtown Santa Barbara (2 miles). This beach condo offers one of the best and quietest locations within the complex and is adjacent to the 1-bedroom unit that sold for the highest sales price this year ($625,000)! Listed at only $539,000, this home presents a tremendous value for the discerning buyer.
