Located on a prime corner lot, this home has a variety of outdoor spaces to suit any number of uses. The entire property is gated and fenced-in to provide security and privacy as well as to shield the yard areas from the street. On the front of the home you have a white painted x-fence and lush grass that leads to the front door. On either side are pathways: to the right leads around the back of the home, and to the left through a garden gateway and into the side yard. The landscaping is very well done and cleanly maintained. In the backyard you'll find a large porch extending off the dining area, and behind the porch is a small garden for meditation or solitude. A single bench with a water feature and low-lying plants are contrasted with high hedges that surround the garden and the back porch.

Through the front door of this approximately 4000 sq.ft. home, you'll immediately notice the European Oak floors and the spacious great room. White marble counter-tops in the kitchen pair nicely with stainless steel appliances and a gorgeous Viking oven. Just off the kitchen you'll find a two-car garage, mud room with washer and dryer, and recreation room/workshop combined basement with its own fireplace! On the main floor the kitchen, living, and dining areas all connect in an open-plan layout with easy access to the large back deck for alfresco entertaining. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms with ample closet space and a master bedroom with two walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom. Huge vaulted ceilings give way to exposed beams and interesting light fixtures hand-picked for this home. Each bathroom is graced with antique fixtures that add flair and character to the otherwise contemporary design. Other features of the home include 3-zone heating, water filtration/softener, and a tank-less water heater. The quiet neighborhood is just a block away from the celebrated Cold Springs Elementary School and the famous Lotusland Gardens.

One of the most exclusive, wealthy, gorgeous neighborhoods to be found, well, anywhere, Montecito has a rich history and large private estates that attract those who could choose to live many places, but they choose to live here. Celebrities and others in the business have long sought it out for its closeness to L.A. (95 miles down the coast) yet spacious, luxurious living, often behind grand gates, high hedges, and mature trees. The enclave includes only eight square miles of tucked-away neighborhoods and mansions on land that gently slopes up away from the ocean.
Many dwellings have views to the ocean, the mountains, or both; our proximity to both of these natural wonders is a reason the entire South Coast is so beloved. Living in Montecito may mean extravagant parties, exquisite dining, and all the privacy in the world when you retire to your abode, but it’s also about relaxed living by the beach. Recreation is always nearby, with three golf courses (two private), two private tennis clubs, beaches, and even a YMCA. Luxury spas and cute shops and restaurants, as well as grocery stores, banks, and the other necessities, can be found in two “villages.” Two outstanding public schools as well as private options, including Westmont College, are in Montecito, as well. Put simply, Montecito offers the best that money can buy.
