A few more things to say about this Montecito estate that I had to share with you.

For Architectural Aficionado’s, this beautifully renovated Montecito estate sits amongst a large concentration of historically significan homes and properties, including George Washington Smith’s first home in California and many of his other first iconic works.  For this reason, this neighborhood block is highlighted in the 728 page book “A guide to Architecture in Los Angeles and Southern California” by Architectural Historian David Gebhard.

Savvy Montecito home buyers will immediately recognize the important cultural value that this one-of-a-kind Montecito property offers.

The architectural design detailsing and landscape palette are inspired by the classic and historic San Ysidro Ranch.  Charming cupola, front porch, entry gates, sandstone walls, and fountains are distinct features of this home.  For a soft and natural cohesive feel, Eugenia and boxwood hedges anchor expansive beds of lavender, rosemary, Mexican sage, and iceberg roses on this 1/3 acre parcel.

The prime Montecito location and distinctive curb appeal is an attractive introduction to the refreshing mix of timeless interior architectural elements and finishes inside.  Niches, coved ceilings, barrel hallways and thick arch passageways lead to well-appointed and generous sized rooms.  The rare 4-panel doors, beautiful woodworking and 7″ wide hickory wood floors throughout this nearly 2900 square foot Montecito estate bring an added layer of richness and warmth that your family will enjoy for many generations to come.
