Two blocks from Cold Spring School in one of Montecito's most sought after pockets, this newly renovated 1953 single level home listed at $3,495,000 and drew three offers on its first day on the market, going under contract within days and closing at $4,100,000, $605,000 over asking.

An open floor plan connects the open beamed kitchen to a light filled living room anchored by a classic fireplace, while French doors open to mature landscaping, a spa, and a private patio made for easy indoor outdoor living. Fine finishes carry through the home, from the marble to the millwork.

Three bedrooms, two baths, and an added den offer flexibility for a family, a second home, or anyone who simply appreciates good design: a rare combination of location, livability, and taste.
