Stylish Montecito Ranch-Style Home

Description

Classic California Ranch meets contemporary interior design in this gorgeous Montecito ranch-style home. It contains over 3,000 square feet of living area, tastefully remodeled and upgraded by John Madden Construction, and is surrounded by approximately an acre of beautiful drought-tolerant landscape and mountain views. It’s a triumph of rebirth and an homage to Santa Barbara’s coveted indoor-outdoor lifestyle.

Impressive Features and Luxury Comforts

A gated driveway leads to a flagstone walkway through enchanting landscaping. Once inside the home, one is greeted by a refreshing ambiance of spaciousness and light thanks to an abundance of dual-pane French doors and windows, high ceilings, recessed lighting and an open floorplan. Wide-plank wood floors throughout most of the residence offer a touch of casual sophistication.

A perfect example of the home’s inspiring interior, the living room hosts no less than five sets of French doors to the terrace and lawn, and provides as its centerpiece a pair of polished stone slabs creating a hearth-to-ceiling backdrop to the fireplace. There is an easy flow through to the adjacent family room, and on to the dining room with its dramatic stainless steel-framed fireplace set in a wall of horizontally stacked reclaimed wood beams. Just outside the French doors, a spacious pergola is the ideal setting for alfresco repasts. Nearby, the chef’s kitchen features high-end stainless appliances, Shaker cabinetry and a versatile center island. Bedrooms open to the inviting grounds and are complemented by luxurious baths.

In Celebration of a Faultless Climate and First-class Location

Outdoor enjoyment is de rigueur for any fine residence on the California Central Coast. Here, the amenities embellishing this Montecito ranch-style home ensure that. Flagstone paths, sculptural fountains, and intimate seating areas, including around a captivating fire pit, are placed to take advantage of the remarkable mountain views. Montecito’s Upper Village, hiking trails and Montecito Union School are all just a few blocks away.
