3 bedroom house for sale

Overview

Sited on Linda Vista Avenue behind ash, pittosporum and pine trees, this romantic 1935 Spanish revival property has been carefully updated and enhanced. Extensive renovations inspired by the famed Biltmore hotel in Montecito began in 2004, with superlative improvements to all spaces and systems. Lush podocarpus hedge softens the iron gate and smooth stucco hardscape, with custom tile trim and mosaic-lined walkway. The front entry is a space to behold: wide porch with built-in spanish tile bench and wrought iron details balance a cobalt urn fountain cascading into a quatrefoil pool - this is elegance manifest. Inside, architectural features abound, from the coved entry vestibule to multi-draped arches, beamed ceilings and decorative corner fireplace defining the living room. Beautiful wide-plank knotty alder floors glow in the natural light of the arched picture window and handsomely reflect crown molding throughout. Formal living flows to the dining room, with hand-painted arches and 10-plus foot coffered ceiling in botanical motifs, balanced by turmeric-hued venetian plaster walls. Wrought iron chandeliers and light fixtures from Steven Handelman studios used throughout the property impart a sense of handmade craftsmanship. The chef's kitchen bridges dining and family rooms with emerald green counters and hand-glazed tile backsplash, extra long island, Viking and Miele appliances including 48'' range and hand-painted plaster hood. Shades of green carry from the kitchen surfaces through the family room to the leafy the backyard; a nod to this home's flow and thoughtful design. Soothing ecru glazed terracotta tile floor and built-in library cabinetry offer a relaxed, sunny family and entertaining retreat. A surprise feature: a wall of grand floor to ceiling telescoping patio doors opening seamlessly to the spectacular dining patio, boasting an outdoor kitchen with a 40'' Viking grill and tile surround fireplace. Well-placed powder bath and laundry room offer convenience and artistry with beautiful cabinetry, high ceilings and rondel leaded glass window. Three bedroom suites are sizeable, featuring custom tile work and beautiful arch-paneled doors; primary suite enjoys two large walk-in closets, fireplace and vaulted cathedral ceilings. Finally, the backyard where sparkling pool, spa, and custom tiled open-air shower enveloped by mature hedges extends ultimate outdoor luxury. Two car attached garage. Is this your private resort home in Linda Vista?
