Description

Authentic Adobe Hacienda located in Montecito sits on 4 acres of beautiful and natural land. This secluded property has beautiful views of the ocean and Santa Barbara. Avocado trees and citrus trees spot the land along with oak trees. The home was built in 1967 and was designed by the architect Frank Robinson. The home was built with original fired adobe bricks and has been owned by the original family since the start of construction. This 3 bedroom/2 bath Adobe Hacienda has been lovingly built, customized and preserved. Upon arrival you are greeted by a custom-made rustic wood door and stained glass window. Upon entering there are terra cotta Saltillo tiles throughout. A large dining room greets you with a corner woodburning stove, window seat, a large loft overhead and beautiful log columns. Beyond the dining area is a living room with spacious fireplace, doors leading out to front veranda and gorgeous open beamed wood ceiling covering the living and kitchen areas. A den is nestled next to the living room. The kitchen is charming with original wood countertops, ample cabinetry and beautiful Mexican Talavera tile surrounding the work spaces. Classic adobe windows are deeply set into the walls. Enjoy an unexpected glass sunroom off the dining area for outside dining if one desires. Outside along the length of the adobe is the Adobe Hacienda's covered veranda for entertainment, dining pleasures and wonderful endless views of the private property. There is a path leading from the veranda to a lily pond located in a sunken garden area. The master bedroom has a fireplace, wood ceilings, a dressing area with built-ins and glass iron doors leading out to the covered veranda. The master bath has a skylight, original wood counters, Mexican Talavera tiles and tiled oval bathtub. The second bath also enjoys the warm wood counters, tiles and shower.
