About this home

Gated and thoughtfully updated, this Spanish-style residence rests on ±1.02 acres in one of Montecito's most desirable locations. Enjoy peaceful glimpses of the Santa Barbara Harbor, mature trees, and beautifully landscaped grounds—just minutes from Cold Spring School and both Upper and Lower Villages. The main level flows effortlessly across multiple gathering spaces, including a formal living room, a gracious dining room, and a spacious family room with exposed beam ceilings. The thoughtfully designed kitchen—featuring custom cabinetry, a large center island, and premium appliances—connects seamlessly to an inviting casual living area ideal for daily life and entertaining. The serene primary suite offers direct access to the patio and gardens through a set of French doors, inviting a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The home also includes four additional bedrooms, which includes a playful bunk room and well-appointed guest accommodations - designed with comfort and flexibility in mind. The bedrooms are complemented by a separate upstairs office retreat featuring a fireplace, balcony, and harbor views - an inspiring space for work or quiet reflection. Outdoors, a sweeping veranda opens to a pool and spa surrounded by lush lawn and vibrant gardens. Olive trees and a custom fountain accent the welcoming motor court, setting the tone for this classic yet livable Montecito retreat.
