This rare Sycamore Canyon Rd. property provides the opportunity to create one’s own grand manor among classic Montecito estates. Private and tranquil, it currently hosts a tastefully updated Mid-century home + separate artist studio tucked against a wooded hillside. Fruit trees & roses complement the natural landscape. The current residence features hardwood floors & vaulted ceilings. The LR has multiple Fr. doors w/clerestory windows above, while the adjacent FR offers a host of windows as well. In the updated kitchen & breakfast area, greenhouse windows invite the cultivation of herbs & flowers. Perfect as-is, yet also offering potential for greatness, it rests just a stone’s throw from beloved Lotusland, and is a short distance from Cold Spring School, the Upper & Lower Villages, beaches, and world-class resorts.
