Old World charm suffuses this approximately 4,500 square foot English Country-style manor resting on a lovely ocean view acre just minutes from Montecito's discriminating shopping, dining and beaches. On a private road and down a lengthy driveway, the home provides a retreat of spaciousness and warmth.

The generous foyer introduces a sunken living room with its soaring 20-foot beamed cathedral ceiling, fireplace and French doors opening to a deck overlooking the grounds, ocean and islands. A comfortable family room, with its own fireplace, promises respite and relaxation, while the formal dining room, large kitchen and adjacent breakfast room stand ready to accommodate any culinary occasion - from a family gathering to an intimate dinner party.

Conveniently tucked away off the entryway, the master bedroom features a fireplace, walk-in closet, spacious bathroom and French doors leading to a private ocean view deck.

A turreted second floor rotunda, as well as a balcony promenade overlooking the living room, supply a feeling of space and light while maintaining the home's charming ambiance. A bedroom suite with full bath and walk-in closet, and two additional ocean view bedrooms with shared bath, complete the capacious upstairs living area.

A paramount feature of this charismatic residence is its impressive outdoor dining and entertainment terrace. Constructed of native sandstone and providing stunning vistas of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, the terrace features a built-in grill and food preparation areas, fireplace, dramatic fountain and controlled lighting.

Additional amenities include a spa, rose garden, Bay windows and a detached, 2-car garage as well as substantial parking areas.

Located in Montecito's Cold Springs School District, this manor promises comfort, style and nearly endless opportunities for infusion of imagination and creativity.
