Located in the heart of Montecito's acclaimed Golden Quadrangle and mere footsteps from the Upper Village, this serene and spacious haven is an invitation to breathe easy and discover your best life in quintessential Montecito. From the tranquility of this +/- 1.3-acre oasis, wake up to the daily inspiration of mountain views or take an afternoon dip in the sparkling pool. A short stroll will take you to Pierre Lafond Market or The Pharmacy for breakfast, and on more adventurous days, a hike along the nearby Hot Springs Trail will invigorate your mind and body. And that's if you decide to leave the house! Framed by sprawling grandfather oaks and enchanting garden spaces, the peaceful property offers an ideal getaway. The multi-structure compound features 2 gated entries, a 4 bed/4.5 bath main residence with an attached 3-car garage, a charming detached guest cottage, and a pool house  all pleasantly situated around a central courtyard with a pool, spa, and outdoor patio areas. A secondary 2-car garage offers additional space for vehicles, storage, or even a home gym. The single-level main residence features vaulted ceilings with open wood beams, cozy cobblestone fireplaces, beautiful wood floors, and large windows which welcome abundant natural light. A central south-facing corridor with multiple French doors beckons enjoyment of the outdoor areas. The primary bedroom commands its own private quadrant of the main residence and boasts a fireplace, high ceilings, a luxurious bathroom suite, and ample closet space. Three additional guest bedrooms plus an office ensure comfortable accommodations for family or guests in the main residence. The generous and fully usable flat parcel means you can enjoy the serene natural surroundings as they are, or let your imagination dream up future expansion possibilities. San Ysidro Ranch, Montecito Union School, and Rosewood Miramar Beach are just a few of the desirable amenities all located in near-perfect proximity to this beautiful estate. No matter how you envision yourself enjoying it, this alluring enclave embodies the very best of Montecito living and a rare opportunity to make your dream life a reality.
