Birnam Wood

Birnam Wood Updated Traditional

This updated traditional home is situated on a private, landscaped acre in the gated community of Birnam Wood Golf Club, Montecito.

A generous circular driveway leads you to the front door. Once inside, the spacious entry hall includes the powder room and a guest coat closet. This leads to the formal living room, with a fireplace, tray ceilings with picture windows and French doors inviting you to the covered patio and pool area beyond. The gardens include beautiful rose beds, lawns and numerous fruit trees including apple, apricot, lime and peach. Located on the fifth fairway, there are views to the mountains and the hills in Summerland.

The large kitchen-family room is just around the corner, offering stainless appliances, granite counters, an island, and a full wet bar. It also includes skylights above a family/TV area where there is a second fireplace. A French door leads to the patio, perfect for easy entertaining. The separate dining room is off the kitchen, having a bay window with mountain views; a built-in buffet serving area and library shelves for books and collectibles.

There are two master suites at the far end of the home, each with generously sized en-suite bathrooms, walk-in closets and bay windows. One bedroom overlooks the garden and roses, and has a door leading to the patio; the other master suite offers mountain views. In addition, there is a separate guest suite, which could also lend itself to a home office, or exercise room.

There is plenty of off street private parking in the motor court by the three car garage. There you will also find the two-room maid’s quarters or guest suite with a private entrance, en suite bath and walk-in closet.

Membership to the Birnam Wood Golf Club is required and includes, an elegant clubhouse with two restaurants and bars, an 18-hole Robert Trent Jones Sr. designed golf course, tennis courts, fitness center and various members’ social activities and events throughout the year.
