Tucked away in the Lower Village of Montecito on two parcels that total 2.5 acres, this classic Montecito property plays host to a pair of historic homes. Offered at $2,635,000 is Parcel #18 on 1 ac. Passing beneath the property's ivy arch is like stepping back in time, revealing a turn-of-the-century charmer sprinkled with period details from a bygone era. Constructed in 1890 and equipped with good bones, the apprx 2,882-square foot main house is ripe for a restoration. Architecturally sound and well-maintained through the decades, the coastal cottage offers a flexible floorplan and endless natural light. Evoking the quaint charm of a storybook illustration, the home's timeless shingled façade is bordered in lush landscaping and dotted with mature oak trees. A flowing form topped with a wide, low roof, this dwelling offers a pared back interior furnished in woods and custom built-ins. Across the threshold, a spacious great room serves as the heart of the home, appointed with a slate fireplace, tray ceilings, and multiple French doors. At one end of the house, a dining room with ornate fireplace is joined by a kitchen, mudroom, flexible office/den, and bedroom with ensuite bath. Beyond the living room lies an airy gallery that flows into a sunlit 2-bedroom wing with Jack-and-Jill bathroom in between. Upstairs, a guest quarters with separate exterior entrance offers a bright bedroom and bathroom perfect for hosting in-laws or a live-in nanny. Offering supreme seclusion and abundant sunshine, this storied Montecito property is poised for a 21st century revitalization.
