I love the Westside of Santa Barbara. My family and I lived in a cute two-bedroom house on Clearview Road many moons ago. My boys were both born while we lived there, enjoying stroller rides around the neighborhood, play time at Harding School playground, and eventually their first Halloween trick-or-treating experiences. They were happy years.
So I thought I knew what to expect when I went to visit the house at 1426 Mountain Avenue on Santa Barbara’s Westside. Described as a 1920s cottage that was remodeled and expanded in 2008, the two-story home offers three bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and all sorts of modern conveniences in its 2,000-plus-square-foot space. I knew those facts from the data I read, and I know the Westside. Yet I wasn’t prepared in the least for this charming home, nor for the stunning view that it enjoys.
