Montecito

This dramatic estate in Montecito’s “Golden Quadrangle” was completed in 2003 and reflects the owners’ quest for a Zen simplicity and serenity along with the architect’s love of natural light which makes this a perfect home for art and fine furnishings.  From the entry with its stone lined pond framing a tranquil setting of Japanese maple trees and its view of the interior space to the ocean beyond, one is struck by a perfection of room proportions and views which “inspire” from every living area.  The honed limestone floors of the entry continue throughout the home and out to the vast exterior terraces and give a consistent luxurious and artistic feel to the home, as you walk from the interior to the garden terrace and infinity pool with spa.  It’s easy to live on the main level of this house with its large living room, dramatic dining room, chef’s kitchen adjacent to a comfortable family room/den, and a luxurious master suite next to a stunning partner’s office with views that never end.  On the upper floor, there are two guest suites with bamboo floors and individual terraces for sunset views.  Detached from the main house is a three car garage with a guest suite on the upper level for privacy.  There is no detail overlooked in the amenities offered in this exquisite ocean view contemporary; one simply moves in and slows down to enjoy the architecture of the home and the panoramic views of the coastline provided by this gated 6.9+/- acre estate in Montecito.
