Property Description

2848 Foothill Road offers something increasingly hard to find in Santa Barbara: a home that feels genuinely new, with the flexibility of a separate ADU and space to actually live. Taken down to the studs and thoughtfully rebuilt, the two-bedroom, two-bath main residence pairs clean modern finishes with the peace of mind that comes from extensive improvements throughout, including a new roof, new HVAC with air conditioning, and updated working systems. Inside, natural light fills the open living spaces, where warm flooring, crisp walls, recessed lighting, and an updated kitchen create a fresh, easy backdrop for everyday life. The kitchen features blue-toned cabinetry, butcher-block-style counters, stainless appliances and an adjoining dining area, while both bedrooms and bathrooms continue the home's clean, modern aesthetic. The primary suite includes a generous walk-in closet and beautifully finished bath. Outside, the property offers multiple areas to enjoy, including a private landscaped yard, patio space, mature surroundings and ample off-street parking--an especially valuable combination in Santa Barbara. Set apart from the main residence is a fully finished one-bedroom, one-bath ADU with its own kitchen, living space, bedroom and bath creating exceptional flexibility for guests, extended living, workspace or rental potential. With three bedrooms and three baths between two separate residences, extensive new systems, usable outdoor space and generous parking, 2848 Foothill Road delivers the ease of a nearly new home while keeping you connected to everything Santa Barbara has to offer.
