Handcrafted, detailed, and soulful, 1490 La Cima Road is a Santa Barbara residence increasingly difficult to replicate. Built in 2007 as the personal family home of Bruce Giffin of Giffin & Crane, in collaboration with Harrison Design, this extraordinary property reflects exceptional craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and a remarkable setting. Privately situated on a gated, half-acre knoll surrounded by mature oaks, the home enjoys sweeping mountain and city views, glimpses of the ocean, and direct access to Elings Park. Sandstone masonry, reclaimed oak floors, handcrafted beams, and custom wood doors bring warmth and character, while expansive steel-framed windows, soaring ceilings, and carefully considered sight lines frame the spectacular surroundings. Designed for both intimate living and gracious entertaining, the living, dining, kitchen, and family rooms flow seamlessly to outdoor terraces and gardens. Four spacious ensuite bedrooms, including one on the main level, are complemented by a library, office, and generous music and media room.Beautifully landscaped grounds offer inviting spaces for outdoor dining and relaxation, including a terrace with a built-in Viking barbecue and fire pit overlooking Santa Barbara and the Riviera. Recent improvements include extensive landscaping, automated gated entry, perimeter fencing, enhanced security and technology, air conditioning, automated solar shades, and a backup generator. An existing elevator shaft allows for future installation. Ideally located in Bel Air Knolls, near the Mesa and downtown Santa Barbara, this soulful home offers exceptional privacy and natural beauty just minutes from beaches, restaurants, and shopping.With its handcrafted details, architectural pedigree, and peaceful setting, 1490 La Cima Road is a home with a character all its own.
