Montecito

Nestled down a private lane, this beautiful Don Pedersen designed and custom built English Country Estate is situated on 1.04 acres.
 
A gated entry and winding drive along a sweeping expanse of lawn and natural tranquil estate setting leads to the 2-story English Tudor home with a one Bedroom Cottage.
 
This striking Tudor Manor with its timbered, stucco, and brick façade, accented by leaded glass windows and direct imports from England such as the Cotswold Stone roof tiles, wrought iron gates, hardware and lanterns, is a lovely replica of English ambiance and architectural flair.
 
An impressive 2-story entry hall leads to the spacious Living Room on the south side with cathedral wood ceilings, distressed oak floors, marble and wood fireplace, and a large open access to the handsome Dining Room with French windows and doors leading out to the patio.  On the north side you will pass by a most beautiful paneled library, then enter the Family Living Area with open Kitchen, family dining and relaxing in front of a brick raised hearth fireplace. Here you will find high timbered ceilings, Saltillo brick-patterned floors, French Country tile on Kitchen countertops and backsplash, oak cabinets and a large bay window. A large French door leads from the Family Room to the spacious outside brick patio with built-in BBQ. A beautiful stone base and wood domed Gazebo in the garden beyond will graciously accommodate your overflow of guests.
A Butler’s Pantry, separate Kitchen Pantry, separate full service Laundry Room and Powder Room complete the downstairs floor plan.
 
Secluded on the second floor are two Bedroom Suites with wall to wall carpeting and cedar lined walk-in closet. The light and airy and extremely private Master suite features a raised hearth tile and wood fireplace. French doors open to the south facing balcony overlooking the lovely gardens, with even a glimpse of the ocean beyond.
 The quaint one bedroom cottage in back is attached by a roofed walkway to the main residence and is an extension of the 3-car finished garage building. It also features French windows and doors and has its own private west facing patio.
 
Location! Location! In Montecito’s so-called golden quadrangle.
