Located in one of the area's most sought-after neighborhoods just minutes from both downtown Santa Barbara and Montecito's "Villages," this remarkable 3+ bedroom, 3 ½ bath family home features a wealth of state-of-the-art amenities as well as extensive landscaping.

The impressive, custom-designed front doors open to an ambiance of spaciousness and light. Secured, they offer an atmosphere of security and serenity thanks to the liberal use of sound-channeling, theater-grade insulation and exterior-grade interior doors. Cherry wood floors, 10-12 foot ceilings and crown molding throughout add to the air of luxury.

The home's great room is truly a "great room," featuring an open floor plan incorporating a spacious family room with fireplace as well as inspiring views of the terraced, magical rear grounds; a formal dining area; and a chef's kitchen with professional-grade appliances along with substantial counter space and cabinetry.

The master bedroom features soothing mood lighting, French doors to a private garden with a beautiful fountain and mountain views, and a large walk-in closet as well as an entire wall of additional closet space. Custom-designed tile, dual sinks and heated flooring grace the master bath.

The delightful two bedrooms of the children's wing are connected by a child-friendly bathroom incorporating dual sinks, floor-to-ceiling tile and a friendly-to-little-feet heated floor. Bedroom closets have built-in shelves, or can accommodate efficiency desks.

Conveniently located a few stairs off of the entryway, the roomy guest suite offers dramatic mountain views as well as a comfortable separate sitting room and bath. The entry also leads to the essentially soundproof den, office or music room.

From the front yard's perpetually-blooming garden, to the peaceful gurgling of Cold Springs Creek bordering the rear grounds, craftsmanship, creativity and care are manifest in the landscaping. The back yard's multiple terraces are accessed by dual curved stairways and walkways accented by wrought iron railings, while dramatically lighted Eucalyptus and fruit trees have been judiciously teamed with hedges to assure the utmost privacy.

All of this, as well as a cornucopia of additional features, combine to make this spectacular family home a jewel of functionality, practicality and luxury.
