1439 Tunnel Road

Discreetly positioned on a private lane off storied Tunnel Road--a quintessential expression of Santa Barbara Spanish architecture is set quietly above the city. At almost 4,000 sq ft of living space, the home has been impeccably maintained, honoring its architectural roots while offering a refined sense of comfort and scale. A gracious courtyard anchors the property, inviting long afternoons of indoor-outdoor living, al fresco dinners, and evenings softened by ocean air and mountain light. From almost every room within, sweeping views unfold across the Pacific Ocean, the Channel Islands, and the Santa Ynez Mountains, shifting with the day and season. The primary suite feels palatial with generous proportions, outfitted with a luxurious ensuite bath and walk-in closet. Cozy up next to the fireplace, or enjoy the sunrise view from the balcony. A thoughtfully placed ground-floor bedroom with ensuite bath adds ease and flexibility, while the private setting offers rare tranquility. Moments away lie the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens, the Mission and Rose Garden, the Santa Barbara Tennis Club, and Tunnel Trail - leading to Inspiration Point and Seven Falls, making this home a seamless blend of seclusion, beauty, and connection to the landscape that defines Mission Canyon.
