Montecito

Beautiful two Acre estate situated on a private road behind closed gates and yet located in the heart of Montecito. A unique opportunity to lease this  elegant single level home for long term. Currently filled with art and collectibles world wide, fully furnished, fully equipped...just bring your clothes and toothbrush. Also available unfurnished.

Each room throughout the entire home opens to the outdoors inviting the outdoors in and you out while enjoying the Mediterranean climate our locals and friends world wide have grown to know and love.  This home offers two distinct wings in the house one for the master and the other for family or guest.  The large master suite has a wonderful sitting room, that can also be used as an office or even a nursery.  The master itself has a gas burning fireplace and like the sitting room, faces a wall of glass with doors that open into the beautiful backyard.  Step onto the heated marble floors of the spacious European style master bathroom with excellent natural light, two sinks, large tub, shower, expansive walk-in closet.  Just steps outside of the master bedroom is a spa to enjoy while you star gaze with almost no ambient light bringing the night sky shining overhead.

In a separate wing are two en-suite bedrooms, one with a shower of marble and glass and the other with a bathtub of marble and glass, each with huge doors opening to the outdoors.  Between the two en-suite bedrooms is a large den/family room/media center with beautiful built in cabinets that open up to a plasma TV.

There is a fireplace in the open and well lit living room as well as the den next to the kitchen.  With white walls, white trim, either hardwood floors or white wool carpeting set with walls of glass the entire home is bathed in natural sunlight.  A true American Riveria experience.

Because Santa Barbara, Montecito lies between a steeply-rising Santa Ynez mountain range and the sea, having an opportunity to enjoy 2 flat acres, especially in Montecito, is a rare find.  On these two acres there is a heated pool located on the south side of the property allowing the most amount of daily sunlight as possible for your daytime pleasure.  A perfect home for family or entertaining the outdoor patio has a built-in stone fireplace, bar-b-que and refrigerator.  You'll enjoy picking your own roses from one of the two lovely rose gardens, enjoying year-round limes and lemons from the trees and fresh herbs from the herb, vegetable and fresh flower gardens.

Attached to the 3 car garage is a guest studio with bathroom, closet, refrigerator and it's own private patio.  In addition to the 2 car garage is a 3 car carport. 

All together in this serene environment there are 4 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, gourmet kitchen, dining room, living room with gas burning fireplace, den off of the kitchen with a gas burning fireplace, and master with a gas burning fireplace.  This elegant home embodies all of the luxuries one would expect. 

This home is available for LONG TERM lease beginning August of 2010. Always a pleasure and easy to show.
