Description
Hidden down a private gated drive on nearly 1 acre, this beautifully renovated Spanish-style hacienda captures the best of Montecito: timeless style, spacious interiors, and serene surroundings. Set in the sought-after Montecito Union School District, the 4 bed/4.5 bath residence offers effortless livability in a convenient location. The home's substantial renovation includes a new roof, a new kitchen, new bathrooms, and upgraded plumbing and electrical.Upon arrival, a fountain courtyard and carved wooden gate set a retreat-like tone, while white stucco walls and a classic tile roof give the exterior its unmistakable Spanish character. Inside, abundant natural light and an easy, well-considered floor plan make everyday life a delight. French doors along both the front and back of the house bring the outdoors in. Beamed cathedral ceilings lift the central living areas, and multiple fireplaces add warmth on quiet evenings. The skylit kitchen pairs generous storage and counter space with premium appliances and a walk-in pantry.The main level holds three en suite bedrooms, including a guest wing set apart from the rest of the home. Upstairs, the primary suite claims the entire second floor, with a fireplace, a Juliet balcony, dual vanities, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with a freestanding tub and oversized marble shower. Outside, the backyard feels like an enchanted garden: a grassy lawn framed by mature trees and hedges, gravel paths that wander around the property, and a tucked-away garden of raised beds. A patio and barbecue area are ready for entertaining, or for simply unwinding at the end of the day. From its gated front entry, to its tastefully remodeled interiors, to the serene backyard, this hidden hacienda represents an exceptional opportunity to enjoy Montecito living.
