A surprising treasure on Santa Barbara's Lower Riviera for sale for the 1st time in 50+ years, 967 Garcia Road provides a rare combination of unobstructed ocean and city views, entry-level easy living for all of the main rooms, and a magical over-sized gently-sloping backyard offering every possibility of entertaining, gardening and relaxation. The nearly 1/3-acre parcel is well-positioned to maximize views with the house at the top, while leaving most of the property as a private oasis of tranquil pathways and all-usable landscaped yard space, almost impossible to find of this size on the Riviera. The storybook 1940's home features gleaming oak wood floors, 3-4 beds/office on the entry level, plus a separate-entry full living suite below. Nothing like this on the Riviera, don't miss!
