3196 Serena Ave

Down a private lane in Toro Canyon, behind a hedge and beneath a heritage oak, a cedar-and-glass cottage on its own gated garden.
The heart of the house is a two-story living room clad floor to ceiling in cedar, with a stone fireplace and a full-height wall of windows facing the garden. Vaulted plank ceilings and exposed beams carry through both floors. Skylit dormers cut into the upper bedrooms.
Three bedrooms, three and a half baths. Two bedrooms are en suite. Two open onto private balconies with foothill and mountain views. Every bathroom has been refinished with new vanities, stone counters, RH fixtures, lighting, and mirrors throughout.
The kitchen has a Bertazzoni gas range with a new chimney hood, dishwasher, microcement counters, cabinetry in soft eucalyptus green, natural stone floors, and windows on two walls looking into the mature trees.
Outside, a quarter acre that belongs to this home and future tenant. A hedge-enclosed lawn framed by mature oak, sycamore and pine. Fruit trees, stone-edged beds, and a shaded creek-side corner at the back of the open field lined with mature sycamores, African coral tree and Torrey pine. The mountains sit directly behind it.
Minutes to Padaro and Loon Point beaches, the Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, Summerland village, and downtown Carpinteria. Toro Canyon trailheads are up the road- Montecito's Coast Village Road is a short drive.
