I discovered a secret pocket of Santa Barbara when I went to visit the contemporary two-story home for sale at 1100 Palomino Road. Only four miles from downtown, this Mission Canyon hideaway perched above San Roque feels like a secluded oasis. Nestled in the foothills above a rolling canyon, the house looks out over the city and to the ocean. Though I had been in the heart of Santa Barbara only 10 minutes earlier, I suddenly felt worlds away.
The house itself is also a surprise. I had seen photos of the striking facade, so I knew it cut a commanding presence. Inside, the high ceilings and dramatic angles reinforced the modern feel, but as I walked through the rest of the house, I realized that although it enjoys a myriad of cutting-edge features, the home is comfortable and livable.
