Steeped in history and thoughtfully expanded and upgraded, this beautifully preserved Montecito farmhouse offers a rare glimpse into an earlier era, when citrus and avocado orchards defined the valley. Original features like the oversized double hung windows, wood floors and high coffered beadboard ceilings lend an authentic character and warmth. This home grew with the four generations of the single family that called it home. Quality improvements and expansions were carefully designed to be true to the farmhouse character. The spacious light filled living room invites one to take a breath and enjoy the sparkling beauty and quality of an earlier and simpler time. Nestled under ancient sycamores and oaks, there is plenty of spaces to rest and play. Each room is generously proportioned. The picture perfect country farmhouse provides ample storage and prep space. The kitchen opens to a gorgeous, towering conservatory-style great room with a wide plank beamed ceiling, ideal as a dining room or family room. The three bedrooms are generously sized, with the primary bedroom opening through French doors to the backyard deck, sitting areas and a rustic art studio. The 575 square foot garage creates great potential for an ADU or adding a bathroom or bedroom. Ideally located near Montecito Union School, the Upper Village, and the neighborhood's celebrated shops and restaurants, this is a truly special find.
