About this home
A sophisticated retreat in the hills of Montecito, this architectural gem—designed by internationally renowned Barry Berkus—boasts incomparable views of the harbor, Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, and beyond. The 4-bedroom, 4-bath residence is a masterful expression of bold lines, soaring ceilings, and light-filled interiors. Champagne limestone floors flow continuously throughout the home. The landscaping, curated by acclaimed designer Mark Rios, elevates the outdoor experience with serene gardens featuring a koi pond, lavender beds, an infinity-edge pool with spa, towering cypress trees, climbing bougainvillea, and a charming alfresco dining area shaded by century-old olive trees. This is a Mediterranean daydream-just ten minutes from Coast Village Road and Butterfly Beach. A beautifully carved door marks the entry, revealing an allée of cypress trees that sets the tone for the tranquil elegance within. The open-plan living and den areas feature 15-foot ceilings, exposed wood beams, a skylight, and clerestory windows that bathe the space in natural light. Defined without walls, the layout flows effortlessly. Just off the main living area, a spacious private study-or optional fourth bedroom-offers flexibility and privacy. The kitchen and dining areas, accessed through another set of French doors, are designed for both function and beauty. Oversized windows frame panoramic views, while a central Caesarstone island anchors the space. Top-of-the-line appliances include a Viking cooktop and ovens, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and Miele appliances. A few steps above the main level, the bedroom wing includes two en-suite guest rooms and a beautifully reimagined primary suite. The primary suite enjoys its own private patio with ocean views, a luxurious dressing area with custom European-style closets, and a serene spa-like bath. Picture windows frame Japanese maples, while a soaking tub, seashell limestone counters, and bespoke cabinetry complete the sanctuary. Additional amenities include a Sonos sound system throughout the interior and exterior, newly installed solar panels with backup battery, and access to a shared private well with two neighboring residences. Located on a quiet private lane, this exceptional home offers the perfect balance of refined design and peaceful seclusion.
