Leafy Montecito

Extending across the brow of an oak planted hill off a gated lane in Montecito, this single-level four bedroom, three bathroom home offers both comfort and luxury. Beautifully remodeled, the kitchen features Sub-Zero and Wolf appliances, custom cabinetry, and honed marble counters. The butler's pantry and laundry room are tucked in the hallway just behind the kitchen completing the functionality and convenience. Vaulted ceilings and Nano doors opening to the flagstone patios contribute to the voluminous feeling of the indoor and outdoor in the living areas. Wide terraced levels of mature gardens connected by multiple paths winding beneath oak groves invite inhabitants to explore and enjoy the acre of grounds. Gracious lawns, hedged nooks, and a seasonal creek complete the idyl. A bocce court and large custom fire pit surrounded by stone benches invite inhabitants and guests to stay and play. But because the home is in walking distance from Manning Park and an easy cycle ride to Miramar beach, it is as likely to be a launching point as a gathering place. Montecito Union, the local public grade school, is also within walking distance for little feet.
