Montecito

Old World Grace
At the old Hammond Estate  
A Superb Value

Once part of a very large, historic property that at one time encompassed over 64 acres, the 2.29 acre+/- property now offered on south Jameson Lane richly honors the grace and charm  of a past era with a home recently constructed with elegance.
 
Behind towering walls and defined by extraordinary architectural details, this lovely European Country house has been beautifully integrated on over two lush acres. It feels timeless.
 
Under pitched, slated rooflines and soaring beamed ceilings are hardwood and limestone floors. Picture windows and French doors bring the surrounding woodland grounds, steeped in history, to every viewpoint. The home spans 5 bedrooms, including a first-level master suite and guest suite, upstairs dual guest suites plus a private guest quarters over the 3-car garage. Additionally there is a formal living room, dining room, office / library, a guest powder room plus a ¾ bath adjacent to the laundry / mudroom.
 
The “chef’s” kitchen – features premier appliances, fine walnut cabinetry, granite counter tops, a walk-in pantry / wine room and cooking island. Rest in the family room by the fire while enjoying the entertainment center, as huge picture windows wrap the oak forest around you.
 
The floor plan layout is perfect.
 
Ideally located in the Montecito Union School District, and a short distance from beaches, Santa Barbara Biltmore and the lower Montecito Village.
 
From dawn to dusk under the eves of the tall oaks , along the paths lined with lavender, in the breeze of the ocean air -- this historic property satisfies the finest design eye.
