Magnificent ocean and island views and an exceptional coastal lifestyle grace this exquisite Cape Cod home on the beach in Montecito.  Situated beyond private gates, this quintessential beach estate offers superb quality and craftsmanship as well as the privacy so rare in beachfront living.  The beautifully landscaped appx. 1.13 acre parcel boasts a vast 130′ of beach frontage in the most coveted Montecito beach location.

Upon entry into the stunning appx. 7,986 sq.ft. main residence, the Pacific is immediately visible through disappearing walls of glass from the two story foyer, as it is from almost every room.  Designed by noted architect Don Nulty, this home is richly appointed and beautifully constructed with the finest materials, with an emphasis on indoor/outdoor living. Past the gracious ocean view living room with fireplace is a handsome paneled office with walls of built-in bookshelves, fireplace and pretty ocean views.  The inviting ocean view family room with stone fireplace features massive ceiling beams and hand hewn wooden floors salvaged from an historic tobacco factory in the South. The gourmet kitchen, featuring a large island with cutting sink, top quality appliances and expansive counter space, adjoins the elegant formal dining room. The oceanside sitting room with fireplace, wet bar and refrigerated wine room easily serves guests enjoying the ocean breezes and spectacular views on the large deck.

With its wonderful floorplan, this home provides splendid accommodations for family and visiting friends. The master bedroom offers sweeping ocean and island views, private balcony and fireplace.  The spacious marble master bath has an ocean view soaking tub, large shower and separate room for commode.  The two other upstairs bedrooms, one offering ocean views and the other mountain views, have walk-in closets and lovely en suite bathrooms.

Panoramic ocean, island and coastline vistas viewed from the airy seaside gym distract from the rigors of the workout. The luxurious home theater celebrates a sleek Art Deco style, as does the full bathroom serving both theater and gym.

Other features found within the residence include a Crestron automation system, alarm, central vacuum and fire suppression systems, abundant storage and an extra deep 3 car garage.

The expansive seaside deck with fire pit and built-in BBQ is ideal for entertaining and reveling in the ever-changing coastal scenery.  There is easy beach access across the idyllic lawn, perfect for family football games or bocce, and an in-ground spa invites relaxing under the stars to the peaceful sound of ocean waves.

The impossibly charming guest house, an original redwood Board ‘n Batten cottage dating back roughly 100 years, has been meticulously renovated for today’s comforts.  Surrounded by its own private garden, this sweet home offers a living room, kitchen, laundry, two bedrooms and two bathrooms.  The lucky guests who get to enjoy this delightful place will never want to leave!
