Description

Beautiful Historic Montecito Spanish Style Estate with Sprawling Grounds - Available Now: Step into this unparalleled Montecito estate, located in the heart of Montecito in one of the most desirable areas, directly across from the Valley Club and Birnam Wood.

This quintessential Spanish Style estate has been lovingly restored and updated. It is offered unfurnished with a one year lease.

The home was originally built by famed California Architect Mary McLaughlin Craig, and still features many of the original details, such as the beautiful hand painted salon fireplace, and original laundry sink. The house has been expanded over the years, and features a large, private primary bedroom with attached office or study, for a true primary suite. The primary bedroom has custom vaulted ceilings, and a wood burning fireplace, and beautiful doors from a Mexican Monastery circa the mid 1800's. The en-suite bathroom includes an oversize soaking tub, and walk in closet. Directly off the primary bedroom, there is a large formal dining room, with dramatic high ceilings, and hand painted detail work reminiscent of the golden age of California 1920's Spanish Style architecture.

The original part of the home has two charming bedrooms, both with walk-in closets, and one with a small additional study room attached. The larger of the two bedrooms also opens up dramatically to a private patio and fountain, just one of the three fountains on the property. Off the two bedrooms, there is a cozy salon, with hand painted artwork surrounding the fireplace, and a view of another outdoor fountain and dining area featuring mature vine coverage overhead, which provides ample shade during the day for al fresco dining, and beautiful soft light for your evening dinner parties.

The Chef's Kitchen in the center of the home is perfect for cooking and entertaining. The center island looks out towards the kitchen dining nook and living room area. Just updated, the kitchen features a Bosch dishwasher, separate gas range with 30,000 BTU burners, and double oven. Attached to the kitchen lies a truly grand living area, with floor to ceiling doors and windows on all sides, looking out onto a private dining patio that can accommodate 20 for a formal dinner. On the other side the rolling lawn are two majestic, mature oaks. The 25 foot living room ceilings make for a unique and airy great room.

Just off the living room there is a fully separate laundry room, with side by side Maytag Washer and Dryer, Laundry sink, and full guest bathroom including a shower. The perfect place to rinse after a day at the beach.

The second primary bedroom on the opposite end of the home is a two story wing, featuring a large fireplace, vintage doors from Mexico, and a private balcony overlooking the yard. The upstairs could be used as a separate study, with bed space downstairs, and is very flexible.

This home is truly filled with light, and each and every room opens up into a unique outdoor space. The main yard area is completely private, surrounded by mature hedges, and includes a gas fire pit that is ideal for outdoor entertaining. Reserved exclusively for the property is a private off-street parking lot with a dramatic entrance wall. The entire property sits on approximately one acre, and in total features a regulation croquet sized lawn, mature orange trees, three fountains, two dining patios, and parking for up to 6 cars. The yard is also fully fenced for pets.

Overall the home has a total of four full bathrooms, four bedrooms, two of which are en-suite Primary bedrooms, three studies and seven fireplaces. The property must be seen to truly experience the entire scope of this estate.

The property is being offered for unfurnished rental only, and can be shown by appointment, pending approved applicants. The home is pet friendly, and terms are non-negotiable. Email questions to: andreashaparenko@yahoo.com or call/text: Andrea Shaparenko at 805-455-4945
