Panoramic Views: Ocean, Harbor and Mountains - Ennisbrook

295 Las Entradas Drive, Montecito, CA

A flowing floor plan, soaring open-beam ceilings, expanses of windows and framed glass doors, and architectural niches create an ambiance of spaciousness and light throughout this stunning Montecito home. Designed by Don Pedersen, AIA, in the classic Santa Barbara Mediterranean style it employs architecture to showcase magnificent ocean and mountain views and achieves seemingly effortless integration of interior and exterior spaces. 

Standing majestically on over an acre in prestigious Ennisbrook, one of Montecito’s finest gated enclaves, this extraordinary residence has been painstakingly embellished and cared for by the current owners. In fact, it was “love at first sight” for the owners twenty years ago as they entered, stood in the rotunda-style entryway and beheld a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands and Santa Ynez Mountains. “The sale was made the minute we walked through the front door,” they recall.

From the foyer, the Living Room features a large multi-pane picture window that frames the dramatic mountain range as a classic painting. A second expanse of glass offers a window to the ocean and beyond. The elevated Dining Room also provides ocean and Santa Barbara harbor views.

Near the entry foyer, a spacious Office hosts a soaring ceiling, multi-pane picture window and double glass doors to an intimate, Saltillo-tiled courtyard. Close at hand, a lovely Powder Room is plumbed for a shower and could easily be joined with the office to create an additional Bedroom Suite.

Relaxed luxury and leisurely living manifest in the approximately 800 square-foot Great Room; combining the true gourmet Kitchen and comfortable Family Room. The kitchen and its walk-in Pantry were designed with the discriminating cook as well as entertaining in mind. Accoutrements include a Dynasty six-burner stove with Viking hood system, Traulsen refrigerator-freezer and other gourmet appliances. An expansive utility island serves the culinary center as well as the family room. Wrap-around windows in the kitchen offer panoramic views, while three sets of double glass doors in the family room provide breathtaking vistas as well as outdoor access to an impressive outdoor living room. The entire Great Room basks in a welcoming ambiance enhanced by stylish polished Saltillo tile, recessed lighting, ceiling fans and a warming fireplace with raised hearth.

The Loggia off of the Great Room, and the extensive backyard with its multilevel terraces, walkways, glistening pool, impressive landscaping and spectacular panoramic views provide endless possibilities for dining and entertaining.

Entering the approximately 600 square-foot Master Bedroom Suite conveniently located off of the family room, one is greeted by a comfortable sitting room open to an elevated bedroom. These complementary spaces share memorable views and access to a plethora of outdoor splendors. The luxurious Master Bath provides a custom spa tub and oversized glassed-in shower with dual showerheads.

A climate-controlled 550-bottle Wine Cellar is accessed from the lower level foyer, convenient to the dining room, kitchen and family room.

Also off the Downstairs Foyer, one Bedroom is combined into an impressive Guest Suite with a sitting room, bath, wet bar, substantial closet space and double glass doors to a private patio. An area that could easily be converted into another bedroom.   

Resting privately yet conveniently just beyond the pool, the Two Bedroom Guest House offers a charming retreat featuring a spacious living area with a cathedral ceiling, fireplace, wet bar and large picture window providing ocean, mountain and garden views.

Security, sound and climate control systems, an oversize Three Car Garage with substantial storage areas, and plenty of exterior parking are just a few of the additional elements enhancing this remarkable home.

Convenient to discriminating shopping and dining, remarkable beaches, excellent schools and much more, and set among mature oak and eucalyptus trees, bougainvillea, jasmine and bird of paradise in perhaps Montecito’s most beautiful and sought-after gated community, this is truly a world-class residence.
