18,000+ SQ. FT.
This traditional Spanish Revival estate brings the charm of Montecito to this sprawling one acre property. Nestled into lush landscaping, the soft plaster pavilions that make up this estate are scattered about the property giving a village-like feel. Hand-crafted wood details appear in the gates, shutters, doors and eaves adding to the charm of the property. Steel doors and painted wood windows add to the timeless character of this enchanting Spanish compound.
Driving through antique wood gates into the cobblestone motor court you are transported into a Bougainvillea-draped square of an old Spanish village. The guard house and guest house flank the driveway and frame the entry to the main residence. A large custom steel and glass entry door accentuates the entrance and sets the tone for the traditional yet contemporary aesthetic of the interiors of this home. A double height entry foyer with flowing sculptural stair leads to a formal living room that looks over the pool and rear yard. An entertainer’s dream, the formal living room connects seamlessly to the dining room and den. Tucked to the more private end of the house is the family room and kitchen which gives the homeowners and their family a more cozy retreat. The second floor offers five bedroom suites; one master and four secondary suites. The master suite is at the end of a beautiful formal gallery accentuated by skylights above. The master suite flows seamlessly from a sitting area to a sleeping area to a spacious outdoor terrace overlooking the rear yard. A sumptuous master bathroom leads to two spacious walk-in-closets. The main residence offers a full basement which provides space for active children and a more relaxing area for the parents. The gaming area for the kids includes karaoke stage, video game stations, ball pit, climbing wall and craft room. The 11-person theater provides ample amount of space for family movie nights. The spa wing of the basement includes steam room, sauna, plunge pool, salon and massage room; the perfect space to disconnect and relax.
