Description

Down a private lane off East Valley Road, and past a gated circular drive, youll find a romantic 1920s-era, six-bedroom home complete with distant ocean peeks. The approximately 1.5 acre flat property is in the highly desired Montecito Union school district and next to Birnam Wood Golf and Tennis Club. Upon entering the historic living room, youll take in the soaring open-beam ceiling, quarter-hewn tiger oak floors, and a separate dining room with light-filled walls of glass. Heading deeper into this inviting home, youll reach the sun filled master bedroom, with its dual baths/closets, plus an adjoining office. Charming and beautifully maintained, this home also includes five additional bedroom suites, three working fireplaces, electric skylights, a built-in BBQ, and dual two-car garages. Fragrant and lush rose bushes, orange, avocado and oak trees and a 20 x 40 swimming pool, with brick walkways and patios offer a great lifestyle and entertaining opportunity. 1940EValleyRoad.com
