About this home
Perched on a knoll adjacent to Montecito's grandest historic estates and the majestic Lotusland, this property has potential to become a modern masterpiece, expanded into a thoughtfully designed ranch, or configured into an idyllic artist or writers' retreat. Over a private acre of usable land, the setting is reminiscent of Carmel Valley, with stunning panoramic views of the mountains and valley below, amidst a forest backdrop of old growth trees offering the rare combination of privacy and open views. A prime location, close to town, easily accessible from multiple routes, this single-level two bedroom, two bath is move-in ready for the quick and easy home with additional guest unit (for potential income, a private space for your out-of-town guests, or to use as an extra bedroom). Set on a cul-de-sac street and located in the Cold Springs school district (ranked as one of the top schools in California) this home is perfect for growing families as well as empty nesters, young couples or the hip bachelor or bachelorette. This property offers the rare opportunity of endless possibilities and upside potential for the forward-thinking or anyone looking for an inspiring pad to call home. Montecito's best kept secret! Sq ft measured by floor plan guy is approx. 1,600 sq ft. Not 1,300 sq. ft. Main house is approx. 1,300 sq ft, plus the 300 sq ft guest studio.
