Property Description
Capturing the essence of Montecito, Il Ponticello is a timeless Mediterranean estate set on nearly two acres, framed by ocean, island & mountain views. Privately positioned on Knollwood Drive, a gated approach leads to an arched entry, where sightlines extend through the living room to a sunlit, ocean-view loggia. Designed for both daily living & entertaining, the main level balances formal living & dining with an open kitchen & family room, alongside the primary suite, guest bedroom & library. Upstairs, 3 ensuite bedrooms include a private suite with a view balcony. Mature oaks, expansive lawns & layered gardens define the grounds, complemented by two two-car garages & a guest apartment. Moments from Montecito's finest amenities, Il Ponticello is a legacy estate of enduring elegance.
