Perched in the foothills of Montecito, this custom-built 2010 Mediterranean villa blends Old World charm with modern luxury. Set behind a gated entrance and a stunning stone pathway with wrought-iron railing, the 3,272 +/- sq. ft. residence gazes across treetops to the Pacific Ocean. Thoughtfully sited for indoor/outdoor living, the home offers three ensuite bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a large two-car attached garage. Through a graceful stone arched entry, the first floor welcomes you into a great room anchored by a gourmet chef's kitchen with top-of-the-line stainless appliances, an extra-large island with breakfast bar, and an open dining/family area with a cozy fireplace. Porcelain tile floors, soaring beamed ceilings, and French doors create seamless flow to covered stone loggias, patios, and a generous outdoor stone BBQ area with two grills and cooktop. Additionally, on the first floor is a full bathroom and a versatile room with fireplace that serves as an ideal office or cozy den. Upstairs, beautiful wood floors lead to three ensuite bedrooms - all complimented with stunning loggia views, and a convenient laundry room with tiled counters and abundant storage. The primary suite features a quaint desk/office nook, fireplace, and a gorgeous updated bath with freestanding tub, glass-free walk-in shower, and tile flooring. The adjacent stone loggia spans bedroom to bath with sweeping ocean and hillside vistas. Two additional en-suites share a spacious loggia; the farthest bedroom includes extra water hookups and direct backyard access--ideal for guest quarters. Outside, winding stone pathways traverse lush native landscaping to a pergola with panoramic views, a stone court with basketball hoop and fire pit, vegetable gardens and a chicken coop, plus a recently finished detached structure adaptable as a gym, sauna or office. Located in the Cold Spring School District, this Montecito foothills villa combines timeless Mediterranean details - stucco facades, terra-cotta tile roof, stone loggias and arched entries - with contemporary finishes and a design that celebrates coastal indoor/outdoor living.
