Property Description
A sophisticated retreat in the hills of Montecito, this architectural gemdesigned by internationally renowned Barry Berkusboasts incomparable views of the harbor, Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and beyond. The 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence is a masterful expression of bold lines, soaring ceilings, and light-filled interiors. Champagne limestone floors flow continuously throughout the home. The landscaping, curated by acclaimed designer Mark Rios, elevates the outdoor experience with serene gardens featuring a koi pond, lavender beds, an infinity-edge pool with spa, towering cypress trees, climbing bougainvillea, and a charming alfresco dining area shaded by century-old olive trees. This is a Mediterranean daydream-just ten minutes from Coast Village Road and Butterfly Beach.A beautifully carved door marks the entry, revealing an alle of cypress trees that sets the tone for the tranquil elegance within. The open-plan living and den areas feature 15-foot ceilings, exposed wood beams, a skylight, and clerestory windows that bathe the space in natural light. Defined without walls, the layout flows effortlessly. Just off the main living area, a spacious private study-or optional fourth bedroom-offers flexibility and privacy. The kitchen and dining areas, accessed through another set of French doors, are designed for both function and beauty. Oversized windows frame panoramic views, while a central Caesarstone island anchors the space. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Viking cooktop and ovens, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and Miele appliances. A few steps above the main level, the bedroom wing includes two en-suite guest rooms and a beautifully reimagined primary suite. The primary suite enjoys its own private patio with ocean views, a luxurious dressing area with custom European-style closets, and a serene spa-like bath. Picture windows frame Japanese maples, while a soaking tub, seashell limestone counters, and bespoke cabinetry complete the sanctuary. Additional amenities include a Sonos sound system throughout the interior and exterior, newly installed solar panels with backup battery, and access to a shared private well with two neighboring residences. Located on a quiet private lane, this exceptional home offers the perfect balance of refined design and peaceful seclusion.
