About This Home

As of August 2021

Experience great design in this elegant, charming, and highly versatile Montecito home. This light-filled home is thoroughly and exquisitely renovated; from the roof to the custom cabinetry and gorgeous mosaic tile, built-in Sub-Zero fridge and an AGA stove, windows, and Dutch front door. The distressed solid oak floors and top-of-the-line fixtures are further evidence of thoughtful intention for comfortable living. The windows, sliders and skylight provide warm light and stunning views of the nearby mountains. Outdoors, a spacious flagstone patio surrounded by lush landscaping and enclosed private courtyard with a fountain is an ideal place to relax and entertain. In the desirable Cold Spring School District and easy access to hiking, Lotusland and Montecito cafes, restaurants and shops.
