Those are the qualities sought after in a Montecito home. This elegant yet supremely comfortable ranch-style residence, on over an acre in the foothills above East Valley Road, possesses those qualities and much more. Resting on a peaceful lane lined with mature trees and neatly trimmed hedges, it represents the epitome of understated luxury. An expansive Great Room Room complemented by a spacious dining area features a soaring, open-beam and wood paneled cathedral ceiling, architectural stone fireplace, and three stunning chandeliers. The wide-plank wood floors are carried throughout the home. Multiple sets of French doors, some complemented by companion windows, are set in a dramatic wall of architectural stone. A casual dining area adjacent to the kitchen also hosts French doors and surrounding windows. The country-style kitchen itself features charming farm-style cabinetry, stainless appliances and a large and versatile center island. Nearby, the family room makes a delightful post-repast retreat with its casual ambiance, front terrace access, and adjacent full bath, swathed in Carrera marble and offering a touch of luxury. The stylish master suite is truly reminiscent of the nearby and highly acclaimed San Ysidro Ranch, with its soaring, white, open-beam cathedral ceiling; stone fireplace; wide-plank wood floor; French doors; and large, multi-pane windows. A sitting room carries the ambiance, while the master bath exudes spa-like serenity. Through the home's many French doors, a spacious flagstone patio awaits; its substantial stone fireplace ready to warm cool Montecito evenings spent dining alfresco with family or guests.
