Boscobel – “In the Midst of the Beautiful Woods”

"In the midst of the beautiful woods" is this enchanting 1916 residence given the name, "Boscobel" by the original owner and builder of the estate, Mr. F.M. Edwards.  With only four owners to date, this Mediterranean style two-story residence with five bedrooms is on the market for the first time in 24 years.  Features include spacious rooms, romantic balconies on the upper level, mountain vistas, magical garden spaces, expansive lawn areas, and a detached three bedroom guest house with a separate entrance on Pomar Lane.  Fountains, garden statuary, fruit trees, and meandering pathways lead to a three car garage.  Truly one of Montecito's hidden Hedgerow gems, this comfortable estate presents Montecito's famous lifestyle with European charm.
