Experience the historic charm of this fully modernized, Spanish-style carriage house. The tastefully renovated, nearly 2,500 sq.ft. home offers serene outdoor space with an ocean view deck, convenient proximity to Montecito's Upper and Lower and Villages, and 21st-century technological integrations. Vintage details throughout the home are complemented by high-end upgrades inside and out, offering a charming glimpse into its unique history. The front of the 3bed/2 bath home is flanked by a stone privacy wall, a partially shaded lawn bordered by rosebushes, and a large stone driveway. The attached garage with original carriage house doors is currently used as a stunning and spacious multi-function room. Its vaulted open-beam ceilings, beautifully stained wooden doors and beams, and a recently added entertaining and storage cabinet may make this the most popular room in the house! Other common areas include a cozy living room with a sleek metal-and-reclaimed-wood fireplace, a dining room, and a spacious gourmet kitchen featuring vaulted ceilings and Viking appliances. Two bedrooms on the main level share a newly renovated bathroom with glass shower and antique vanity, and an office space is conveniently located off of the main entrance. The upstairs master suite offers a serene retreat complete with a separate office/reading loft, large walk-in closet, and views to the landscaped backyard and hillside. The impressive amount of usable space in the home is rounded out by a lower-level wine cellar/game room, accessed by an exterior staircase. The entire home is equipped with Ring, an app-based security and monitoring system. Outside, serenity and privacy abound. A large, private patio wraps around the side and back of the home, offering ample outdoor space for barbecuing and entertaining. Beautiful drought-tolerant landscaping and trees including avocado, tangelo orange, navel orange, key lime, Mexican lime, and lemon are watered by an app-controlled watering system and accented by elegant uplighting. A few steps up the meandering gravel-and-wooden-step path are rewarded with an ocean view deck, which is hedged by ficus trees for peaceful privacy. This quaint, beautifully upgraded property offers a unique piece of Montecito history, comfortable space and solitude, and nearly perfect proximity to all that Santa Barbara and Montecito have to offer.
