About this House
One of Montecito's rare retreats where ocean, island, harbor, mountain, and twinkling city lights meet in a triple panoramic, 180-degree view...and all on one acre and in the Cold Springs School District! Perched on 1.06± acres with exceptional privacy, the 4-bedroom, 3-bath residence (+ family room) offers 2,886± sq. ft. of refined living, three ceramic gas log fireplaces, and an oversized two-car garage with built-in storage and a workbench.
Grand Entry & Main Level
A custom mahogany entry door with leaded glass welcomes you into a tiled foyer with intricate inlay details. Arched passages open to a bright living room with high ceilings and French doors framing mesmerizing ocean-and-island views. The adjacent family room invites gathering around a two-sided fireplace shared with the formal dining room, where harbor views and French doors lead to a wraparound patio and lawn, perfect for effortless entertaining.
The light-filled kitchen features natural maple cabinetry, granite tile counters, and newer appliances, with an iconic viewpoint from the sink window across ocean, city, and mountains. For buyers seeking a more open-concept great room feel, the seller consulted a structural engineer and contractor regarding wall removal options in the kitchen/dining/family room area. This great room can range in size from 465 sq. ft. to an impressive 674 sq. ft., a dramatic transformation for entertaining and daily living. Completing the main level: a flexible fourth bedroom with exterior access, a stylish hall bath, and a spacious laundry room with abundant storage and a tub sink.
Second Floor Retreat
Upstairs, the primary suite is oriented to maximize ocean, island, city, and harbor views, even from bed. French doors open to a generous view deck with custom tile insets for sunrise coffees and starlit evenings. A romantic fireplace and deep walk-in closet complete the suite, while the primary bath offers custom tile, a natural maple vanity, and dual sinks. Two additional bedrooms share a well-appointed hall bath, including one with impressive ocean and island views.
Outdoor Living & Entertaining
Enjoy Montecito's mild climate across multiple patios, terraces, and lawn areas, partially enclosed by elegant wrought-iron fencing. The west side delivers unforgettable sunsets and sparkling city lights alongside a built-in BBQ station and private Jacuzzi spa. Off the dining room, a custom-tiled patio sets the stage for alfresco meals against a postcard Pacific backdrop. The east side courtyard entry flows to manicured lawns and the finished garage; the north yard includes a terraced open area plus a dog run. A two-piece Spanish tile roof, La Habra stucco exterior, and factory-painted Andersen dual-pane windows complete the home's timeless Spanish Mediterranean appeal.
Why You'll Love It
Fresh Update: New, brighter and natural wool, hypoallergenic carpet for a lighter, elevated feel.
Privacy & Panoramic Views: Over an acre with ocean, island, harbor, city-light, and mountain scenery.
Timeless Architecture: Spanish Mediterranean style with thoughtful craftsmanship throughout.
Quiet Convenience: Peaceful setting just 5-10 minutes to Montecito's amenities; without freeway or train noise.
Future Options: Potential solar placement on the south-facing hill (not visible from street), EV capability in the garage (50 amp to 70 amp), and prior pool plans available for the lower yard.
Optional Open-Concept Potential: Multiple wall-removal scenarios can expand the kitchen/dining/family room footprint up to 674 SF, with a contractor's preliminary structural shoring + beam installation.
Experience the height of Santa Barbara living at 202 E Mountain Drive, where natural beauty, privacy, and sophisticated design converge.
