ADDRESS: 453 Vista de la Playa Lane STATUS: On the market PRICE: $3,790,000

Endless Summer Vibe with a View to Match

I

know I’m not the only one with a COVID-clouded calendar. The days and weeks melt into each other, and summer weather in December just compounds the confusion. But last week I found a perfect hideaway where time stands still. Tucked into the ocean side of a Mesa hilltop, this secluded sanctuary has an endless sum- MAKE MYSELF AT HOME mer vibe and a panoramic view that just may be the best in Santa Barbara.

While “panoramic view” may be one of the most overused phrases in real estate parlance, this one truly deserves the description. The vista spans the entire coastline all the way south to Point Mugu on the way

by Sarah Sinclair to Malibu, and north past the majesty of the Channel Islands, along the Gaviota Coast to Point Conception. I’m told that on a clear night, even the lights of the Santa Monica pier are visible. No power lines or houses break the line of sight, so the view truly is unobstructed. And it is breathtaking.

There’s no way one can walk inside without pausing

to drink in the ocean scenery, and the house anticipates that need.

A Brazilian hardwood deck runs the length of the house and offers plenty of room for entertaining and soaking in both the sun and the view. It’s like the best view deck on Del Playa all grown up, or a Costa Rican tree house plopped onto a Santa Barbara hilltop: blissfully beachy, with an airy castle-above-itall vantage point that quite literally can’t be surpassed.

The house itself continues the blissful, beachy ambience. Custom built in 1947, the design was way ahead of its time. With a long, lean layout, it takes full advantage of the 200-foot-wide lot with floor-toceiling and wall-to-wall views in the living room, dining room, and kitchen. Even the bedrooms have porthole windows facing the front of the house so that you can gaze at the ocean even when you’re lying in bed.

Throughout the Spanish-style house, artistic touches reinforce the bohemian vibe, including arched doorways, colorfully tiled bathrooms, and gorgeous natural woodwork. High cathedral ceilings, skylights, and hardwood floors keep the airy, natural ambience flowing.

A long counter in the kitchen provides a perfect perch for gazing at the seascape over scrambled eggs. If I lived here, I’d eat every single snack and meal al fresco on the deck. But the kitchen counter and a separate formal dining room offer options and still allow the magnetic

view to serve as an appetizing backdrop.

I pulled myself away from the vista long enough to discover a lovely backyard on the other side of the house. A flat back patio gives way to a beautifully terraced hillside of trails and secluded garden viewing spots.

On one side, a bougainvilleacovered trellis leads to perhaps the most romantic outdoor spa setting in Santa Barbara.

The multiple level spaces — including a grassy fenced front yard perfect for kids or dogs or croquet — are a rarity in a house set on a hillside such as this. A two-car garage plus plenty of additional parking and a short, easy driveway are also practical pluses.

Through a breezeway from the main house sits a separate self-contained bedroom and half bath, providing a private option for guest accommodations. Be warned though, anyone who steps foot on this property will fall under its endless-summer spell and never want to leave.

453 Vista de la Playa Lane is listed for sale in Santa Barbara by Ken Switzer of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Reach Ken at (805) 680-4622 or KenSwitzer1@yahoo.com. View a video of this property at OceanViewSanctuary.com.

How to Help Others In Difficult Times Dear friends and fellow community members, My name is Kathy Hughes and I am a long time local Realtor working with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. I have been a humble supporter of Unity Shoppe for about 35 years. I met and was impressed with Barbara Tellefson who at that time was Executive Director of Unity Shoppe. This compassionate, loving woman was living proof that if someone sets their mind to a worthy cause, nothing can stop them. She proved it, and quickly became one of my heroes. Thank you Barbara, for teaching me how to be passionate and determined, and how to give with an open, happy heart, expecting nothing in return.

Be sure to watch the

Unity Shoppe Telethon

Don’t miss your chance to be a part of this heart-warming effort to help.

Please consider making a donation to help our community get through this devastating time.

There is no bigger need than right now. Like I tell the people in my office “No donation is too small”. Every single dollar helps put food on a deserving table.

The link to donate to the Unity Shoppe is:

hosted by Kenny Loggins, by tuning into KEYT channel 3 on Saturday December 12th from 4:30 to 8:30.

For several years, I have helped with fundraising within the local Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices real estate offices. This year we have come together to raise nearly $20,000 to help the hard working people in our community who need a little help to keep their families fed and healthy.

I am very proud and honored to be a part of the generous Berkshire Hathaway family. I am also extremely happy and proud to help Unity Shoppe in any way I can. Many of my friends and clients have also donated to this great organization. I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart!

The story of his experience and his sincere gratitude is an example of this amazing life changing organization. There is no judgment at Unity Shoppe, just open hands and hearts.

DECEMBER 10, 2020

While I was paying for the toys, all smiles over my great kid gifts, the manager told me of his personal story. He said, “Unity Shoppe is a really wonderful organization. A few months ago, due to COVID, my wife and I were both laid off. We were in a bad way when we were referred to Unity Shoppe. We went there and those folks came to our rescue. I mean it; they really did. I don’t know what we would have done without them. I am happy to say we both have new jobs now and are back on our feet. When I see someone in a bad way asking for money, I tell them about Unity Shoppe. They are a lasting solution, not just another dollar.”

INDEPENDENT REAL ESTATE

Inspired by Barbara, I have been donating money, food and toys to Unity Shoppe for many years. Recently, when I saw that one of our local drug stores was selling toys at up to 50% off, I was inspired to buy some. While at the store, I inquired to find out where to find the toys that were on sale. The very nice manager offered to help me find them. As we walked and talked, I mentioned that the toys were for Unity Shoppe.

nnovations in glazing technology have transformed window performance over the past three decades. Transparent glass panes can now darken in bright sunshine by means of thermochromic or photochromic films or coatings. When the temperature of the glass increases from the sun’s infrared rays, the transparency

Technological ideas to address climate change abound. Many are already making their way into the marketplace. Technological inventiveness can help us reduce carbon emissions, but to fundamentally reverse our destructive climate patterns, we need a different framework: • where resources are used carefully and in cyclical processes, following nature’s example, • where human growth takes precedence over consumerism and economic growth, • where equity and inclusivity are high priorities, and • where environmental restoration becomes an employment and societal benefit.

These and other similar tenets will restore the health of our earth and nurture its biodiversity.

Smart Windows Can Boost Energy Performance

Air-conditioning accounts for about 6 percent of all electricity generated in the U.S., with its accompanying negative climate and health impacts.

by Dennis Allen technology called electrochromic uses a small electric current to polarize coating crystals to create clear or frosted states. This type of glazing is sometimes called intelligent glass or switchable smart glass. It is often chosen for privacy requirements as well as for heating and glare protection.

The latest window research holds the promise of reducing a building’s cooling demand while also generating electricity.

The San Pascual Apartments

Beachside Partners announced the largest multifamily property sale in Santa Barbara of this year with the close of escrow on the San Pascual Apartments. The off-market transaction was all cash and escrow closed December on 1st for $9.45 million. One of the largest such sales in the county over the past two years, the 25-unit complex is located at 1109-1119 San Pascual

Street on Santa Barbara’s Westside.

Beachside Partners founder Jon Standring represented the buyer, an investment group based in California and the seller represented themselves. “I was approached by the buyer, who needed to find a local asset for a large 1031 Exchange,” Standring said. The San Pascual Apartments were built by the seller and had

never been on the market. According to Standring, the buyer plans to address deferred maintenance over the next few years and will have Sandpiper Property Management take over as property manager. “We have been very busy this year” said Standring, who along with Lori Zahn, also represented the buyer of 40 Units in Santa Maria in January.

Zahn, who joined Beachside Partners in 2019, shared “I’m very proud of our dedication and ability to navigate this environment and really believe it’s what sets us apart. Beachside Partners has become a top producing Multi-Family brokerage on the South Coast and I love being a part of it.”

Nick Henry who is a partner and top producing apartment sales broker for Ventura County, added “This year has definitely had its ups and downs, but we worked very hard to ensure our clients’ expectations were met and we continued to grow as a company.”

Martin Minute Market Update

(November 2019 vs 2020)

Median sales prices saw a 2% increase from October and year to date, up 17% over last year. Inventory is over half of what it was in November of 2019, and the absorption rate is 1.4 months, which means that if no more homes come on the market, the entire current inventory will be gone in 1.4 months. This describes a solid seller’s market.

Buyer demand is still rather high and is expected to continue through the holidays so, if you’re considering listing it’s a great time to go for it.
