Birnam Wood

Inspired by the owner’s previous Roland Terry designed home in the hills of Carpinteria (featured in Architectural Digest), this elegant Tuscan styled villa is situated on the 15th hole at Birnam Wood Golf Club. Smaller in scale than the original estate, the home reflects the exquisite taste and culture of the Old World coupled with modern and luxurious amenities.  Olive trees nestled among beds of rosemary line the exterior walls of the property while tall cypress, white roses, jasmine and potted lemon trees adorn the interior gardens.  A reflecting pool with fountain feature is centered in the courtyard adjacent to the entry. Other patios are accessible through tall French doors in the kitchen, family room, living room, study, master and guest rooms. A gourmet kitchen and island, guest room, office area, library/bedroom, 3 bathrooms, elegant master, and impressive living room with magnificent northern and southern views complete the interior space. Rooms are large yet intimate, with optimum attention to detail in all aspects of design -- hidden copper pocket screens on windows and doors, room and closet lighting systems, air conditioning, storage cabinets, wall finishes, fine cabinetry and stone materials, and high-end appliances. Located just outside the laundry and utility room is a three-car garage that houses state of the art soft water and AirVac Central Vacuum systems. Truly a home for the most discerning buyers who wish to enjoy Birnam Wood’s active, yet relaxed lifestyle – where the newly remodeled Clubhouse and exquisitely maintained golf, tennis, fitness, and dining facilities are the centerpiece of this exclusive and gated community of only 244 homes.
