About This Home

As of July 2018

This contemporary Montecito home rests on approximately 1 beautifully landscaped acre on a gated private lane just a few minutes from popular Manning Park, Montecito Union School and the Upper Village. There's a calming ambiance here, which is felt from the lovely front lawn to the tranquil multi-level backyard set against a rise showcasing mature trees. Sliding glass doors from nearly every room open to serene and handsomely designed outdoor spaces, thereby creating a nod to the Santa Barbara area's coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle. There's an intimate veranda off the family room just right for al fresco dining. Multi-level lawns, terraces, and stone steps are complemented by a peaceful grove of trees and other foliage. Inside, the living room fireplace offers solace on those chilly Montecito nights, while the kitchen and adjacent family room provide a splendid setting for conviviality. The master suite and guest room, with their luxurious spa-like baths, are welcoming retreats.

The home's over 2,600 sq. ft. and the property's proximity to amenities and well-appointed grounds make this an ideal choice as a year-round residence or perfect pied-à-terre.
