Montecito Mid-Century Ranch

Description

Set among classic Montecito estates in a coveted neighborhood of grand and timeless homes, this rare Sycamore Canyon Road Mid-century ranch provides the opportunity to create one’s own world-class manor. Its private and tranquil approximately 1.3-acres currently host a tastefully updated ranch-style home and separate artist studio. The studio is tucked against a wooded hillside and is accessible via a charming arched footbridge over a seasonal stream. Fruit trees and roses complement the natural landscape.

An air of spaciousness and light

The current residence features beautiful hardwood floors throughout, and high, vaulted ceilings. The living room has multiple French doors with clerestory windows above, while the adjacent family room hosts multiple large windows complemented by clerestory windows following the line of the vaulted ceiling. The generous use of glass and the expansive ceilings allow both rooms to be bathed in light, and create a refreshing feeling of spaciousness. Likewise, in the updated kitchen and adjoining breakfast area, greenhouse windows invite the cultivation of one’s favorite herbs and flowers. Throughout the home, interior comforts seem to merge with the enchanting exterior landscape.

Calm abiding. Utmost convenience.

The unmistakable ambiance of relaxed sophistication for which Montecito is renown prevails at this Mid-century ranch property. Perfect as it is, yet also offering potential for greatness, it rests just a stone’s throw from beloved Lotusland, and is a short distance from Cold Spring School, the community’s Upper and Lower Villages, pristine beaches, and two world-class resorts.
