Shoreline Home

This sociable oceanfront site overlooks the lively neighborhood treasure, Shoreline Park and Santa Barbara Channel. A high-ceiling, open plan connects kitchen and dining to expansive ocean views and an elegant backyard patio and swimming pool. The spacious roof deck is perfectly situated as a park and ocean overlook – extending interior and patio spaces. Native planting and modern patio complement the home. A refined palette of smooth plaster walls, acetylated wood siding and decking, and metal windows and doors create an elegant addition to Santa Barbara’s iconic Shoreline Drive neighborhood.

 

“From the moment we saw our first house drawings, we knew Blackbird was the team for us. We asked for a one-of-a-kind house you could see through to take advantage of the ocean view, a home that people would say ‘did you see that house?’
From preconstruction and the permitting process, site visits and managing the contractors, to completion and final photos the Blackbird team was there for us the entire way.”
