Montecito

This elegant two story Mediterranean home with panoramic ocean, island and mountain views offers gated privacy and gardens with lush landscaping, mature trees, and expansive lawn areas on 1.75+/- acres, enhanced with meandering hand chiseled stone walls.  The sound of cascading water from a uniquely designed stone terraced waterfall greets you, as you approach the front door with its iron and glass surrounds.  You feel a sense of awe with your first step into the impressive entry foyer which is perfect for the art collector with its expansive walls, high ceiling and limestone floors.

Wonderfully arched paned windows in the living room frame magnificent coastline views from Ventura to the Santa Barbara harbor and Channel Islands beyond.  The library/den offers stunning ocean view picture windows with built-in seating, sumptuous paneling, and a corner fireplace.  A gracious dining room with coffered ceiling, special lighting and French doors is perfect for formal dining.
 
A finely crafted curved stairway leads you from the foyer to the master bedroom with Bermuda shuttered windows, carpeting, stone fireplace, and French doors to a private ocean view tiled balcony for relaxing with a book or enjoying a sunset view.  Large His/Hers walk in closets and a “spa style bath” with soft toned marble and a radiant heated shower complement the fine amenities of the master.  Three bedrooms with baths en suite on the main floor are beautifully appointed and all feature ocean and mountain views from this unique and very private location near shops and restaurants in the Lower Village.  In addition, there is a maid’s suite and large laundry room adjacent to the warm and inviting kitchen/family room with granite counter tops, island, skylight, and rich wood floors.

With the French doors open, you step onto an ocean and garden view covered stone terrace perfect for al fresco dining on lovely Santa Barbara evenings.  The inviting pool in the gardens below looks out over treetop views of the Pacific Ocean giving you the feeling of being nestled on a hillside along the treasured Italian Riviera.  This estate is truly one of those magical, seldom available properties in Montecito which offer the Santa Barbara lifestyle with a luxurious European Riviera ambiance.
