This three-bedroom, three-bathroom home is a welcoming retreat. Palm tree-lined streets, inviting shared outdoor spaces, and traditional Spanish-style architecture of white stucco and red tile roofs define this well-orchestrated community near the historic neighborhood of San Roque.

Enter at ground level, then ascend to the second floor, where vaulted ceilings, wrought iron accents, and richly-colored hardwood floors create a dramatic great room. Settle into the living room's corner sectional in front of the fireplace and television, dine at the farm-style table, or toss back a quick cup of coffee at the breakfast bar before heading out. Whatever the itinerary, the great room is central to daily planning.

The kitchen is sleek, with contrasting quartz counters of grey and white that play against the shiny professional-style stainless appliances. Whole Foods is just down the block to pick up a few fresh ingredients and enjoy cooking in this well-designed kitchen. A small adjacent terrace provides one more cozy spot for a quiet escape. One guest bedroom with a queen-size bed, a full bathroom, and laundry also reside on this same level.

On the third floor is the spacious primary suite with a king-size bed. Step out to the Juliet balcony to take in the colors washing across the nearby foothills. The attached primary bathroom is a luxurious offering with a generous walk-in closet, free-standing oval soaking tub, dual vanities, and a large walk-in shower with a rain shower head. Completing the floor plan is a third bedroom with a twin bed, full bed, and en suite bathroom with shower.

Leave the car in the two-car garage and set out on foot to enjoy shopping at La Cumbre Plaza or drop into a couple of local favorites like Lure Fish House or Via Maestra 42 Italian Trattoria. Don't feel like venturing out, no worry! Bring a favorite beverage, a few snacks, or a board game to the common area in the center of the complex. Sit by the fire in the covered area, mingle with neighbors, or relax in the sun by the tranquil fountain for as long as the heart desires!

When it's time to venture out, the beach is not too far, maybe 10-15 minutes, depending on what activities are in the offing. This location is ideal for hopping on Hwy. 154 to take the short 30-minute drive to Santa Ynez for a day of wine tasting and wildflower hikes or sitting beside Lake Cachuma to breathe in the beauty. No matter the plan, beginning and ending at Estancia Escape will add even more joy to the amazing adventures waiting to be experienced in Santa Barbara.
