[FOR STATISTICAL PURPOSES ONLY] Refined yet relaxed, this stunning property embodies a truly rare and noteworthy Montecito residence, showcasing a level of design and craftsmanship that puts it in a class all its own. Nearly every inch of this enchanting California compound has been artfully imagined and curated by renowned designer Jeffrey Alan Marks — creating an elegant oasis of comfort and privacy all within easy walking distance to the Lower Village. The light-filled 3-bedroom main home is immaculately appointed for residents and guests alike, each room offering its own masterclass in texture, lighting, and composition of space. The main level makes use of a 30-foot solid steel beam opening to a bespoke custom Plain English kitchen. A mudroom entry has been added off the kitchen, providing additional storage and a half bath featuring Jeffrey's signature De Gournay fish hand painted wallpaper. Mere steps from the kitchen is a serene outdoor patio and rustic stone fireplace, inviting harmonious enjoyment of both indoor and outdoor spaces. Outside, the nearly half-acre parcel is replete with an enormous green lawn, flowering plants, assorted fruit trees, gleaming white picket fencing & privacy hedges, numerous sitting areas, and the cool shade of towering pines. Just beyond the main patio, a 2-story guest house offering an expansive upper level office or living area, a comfortable bedroom suite, and additional storage.
