1473 Bonnymede Dr, Montecito, CA 93108

Within Montecito’s exclusive, guard-gated beachside Sea Meadow community, this beautifully appointed home exudes the warmth, charm and understated elegance of a quintessential French country cottage. Privacy, serenity, style and comfort are paramount throughout the residence.

Uncommon common areas await

A variety of vaulted ceiling styles – several with open beams – add to the ambiance of spaciousness and light. For example, impressive in its grandeur, the main hallway soars to a cathedral ceiling complemented by exposed queen trusses as the space showcases an upper-level gallery. While the ceilings are notable for their stature, the rooms are supremely embracing. Welcoming are the living room with its large fireplace, towering ceiling, and French doors to a lovely terrace; the dining room opening to the terrace as well for alfresco repasts in the refreshing ocean air; and the handsomely designed kitchen hosting high-end appliances, abundant cabinets, and French doors providing easy exterior access.

Three private retreats provide enjoyment of the indoor-outdoor lifestyle

The home’s three bedrooms all open via French doors to the lush foliage outside, and, of course, to Montecito’s revered Mediterranean climate. The primary suite is a fitting sanctuary with its cozy fireplace, wood beam vaulted ceiling, hardwood floor, adjacent office, luxurious bath, and a private balcony offering sight of the ocean over verdant treetops.

An abundance of amenities at hand

This wonderful residence enjoys all the resort-style amenities the Sea Meadow enclave is known for, including access to Hammonds and Montecito’s other pristine beaches, a clubhouse, tennis courts, and proximity to the renowned Rosewood Miramar Beach Resort. The distinctive shops, galleries, dining, and services along Coast Village Road are close at hand as well. Whether as a year-round residence or perfect pied-à-terre, this stylish, tranquil abode is perfection in a very special home or home away from home.
