About This Home
As of October 2020Historic, carefully restored 1908 Carriage House on a manicured level acre with specimen trees. Originally a working Carriage House for one of Montecito's great estates designed by the prominent LA architectural firm Richards-Neustadt. The Cottage has four bedrooms, four full baths, four fireplaces and central air conditioning. The large, airy kitchen with fireplace opens onto a romantic Tuscan entertainment space featuring a horse-trough fountain, a bluestone patio, hand chiseled stacked stone walls and specimen olive trees. This is a beautiful home selectively updated with carefully maintained old wood floors, and original carriage and stable doors. A rare opportunity to own a restored historical Carriage House cottage in the premier section of Montecito.
