STEP INTO COLOR AND LIGHT as you enter this artistic and spacious 4,700+ sq.ft. modern masterpiece. With striking originality, the home has been expertly renovated to blend clean lines and open spaces with warmth and a bit of whimsy. Set on a lush and private 1.3 flat acres, this captivating property is the perfect weekend retreat or full-time family compound.

 

Designed with a south-facing Great Room as its center or "hub," the magnificent outdoor spaces are brought in through floor-to-ceiling windows, doors and skylights that infuse the room with light and air. Soaring ceilings and maple floors accentuate the casual yet elegant space, which includes a graceful and functional kitchen and dining area, and a sitting area with fireplace and built-in television, office nook and wet bar. The Great Room opens to an expansive teak deck overlooking the lush lawns, semi-tropical landscaping, spa, pool and open-air pavilion with bath and sauna.

 

The north side of the home provides drama, intrigue, and intimate spaces to balance the openness of the Great Room. A formal dining area and living room are designed around a dramatic built-in aquarium, which captivates the imagination and provides the central color theme of the home. Matching sets of "Santa Barbara" doors are placed on either side of the space, with a striking granite fireplace in the center.

 

Not to be outdone, the bedroom suites are oriented to provide ultimate privacy and separation, while taking advantage of the glorious southern exposure. The master suite is situated on the upper south-east side of the home and includes a sumptuous spa-style bath with endless walk-in closets. It is completed by a spacious balcony overlooking the pool and the lush grounds. Two additional bedrooms are situated on the upper south-west side of the home. These rooms share a full bath and also enjoy private view balconies. A large guest suite is located on the main level with double sliding doors to the deck and gardens. It includes a built-in office, a full bath and a sitting area or possible 5th bedroom.

 

The incredible grounds include a pool and spa complimented by an open-air pavilion with full bath, wood burning stove and sauna; mini-putting green with sand trap; meditation trail; fire pit; and children's play area. A 3-car garage and a separate home office with views of the expansive rear yard complete the property. It is conveniently located on a quiet lane close to Montecito Union School, the Montecito YMCA, and the Upper Village.
