Santa Barbara

Nestled in the foothills of Santa Barbara among stately oaks and boulders, this sophisticated and comfortable home with two large bedroom suites, den/media room, separate study and surrounded by lush gardens delights the senses. A cut-stone and hedge lined drive leads to wooden garden gates which transport you to another world. An enchanting entry terrace with raised fountain and koi welcome you. The French limestone tiled entry continues into the light filled foyer and gallery.

Extensive remodels of the home and gardens have redefined the original Hollywood Regency style residence built in 1969. Spacious rooms in this comfortably luxurious home feature 10 foot floor to ceiling glass walls and doors which offer views of and access to the terraces and verdant gardens. Stylish window treatments throughout including contemporary, motorized drapery and tall shutter panels filter the light in the sun filled rooms. The gourmet kitchen features a large island and adjoining dining area. The second floor that includes a spacious bedroom suite and separate study with custom oak cabinetry offers views of oaks and a seasonal creek. The elegant simplicity of the master suite wing with full access to terraces and gardens is reflected in a bedroom with an expansive view of the wooded garden, two richly appointed ensuite baths and a comfortable den/media room.

This luxurious retreat offers ample outdoor living space in which to enjoy Santa Barbara’s temperate climate. The generous, south facing terraces with views of Santa Barbara’s Riviera include a substantial pergola off the living and dining areas that creates an outdoor “room” for seating and dining year-round. Jasmine, gardenia and plumeria flourish near the house offering their sweet, rich scents and elegant flowers. A gracious stairway leads you to pathways through the grand oaks and boulders, grassy areas and a lush collection of Tasmanian tree ferns, azaleas, clivia and acanthus. A seasonal creek bed graces one side of the fully fenced acre, and citrus trees and succulents are reminders of the Mediterranean climate. A very special natural setting and mature gardens enhance the contemporary, sophisticated architecture and ambiance of this unique home. This Santa Barbara property offers peace and tranquility yet is minutes from downtown Santa Barbara and Montecito.
