1557 Miramar Lane, Montecito CA

On a quiet Montecito lane bordered by mature hedgerows, nestled privately behind gates and within lush landscaping and mature trees, this classic ranch-style home exudes a tranquil air seemingly far from the madding crowd.

Inside, a sort of timeless joie de vivre endures thanks to a effortless blend of traditional and current design elements. An open floorplan, radiant white walls, abundant windows, and French doors grace the common areas of the home, while terra cotta tile and hardwood floors, and handsomely stained doors and window frames create a warm ambiance in the bedrooms.

The living room hosts a fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stone surround and built-in cabinetry, and multiple sets of French doors and windows opening to an expansive brick patio with its fountain, sumptuous foliage, and brick privacy wall; all shaded by a beautiful and massive oak. The charming kitchen can serve up informal repasts in the adjacent breakfast room, which also opens to a bricked patio: the perfect spot for al fresco meals.

The primary bedroom suite and guestrooms are testament to this home’s homage to the traditional merging with today’s design trends. Overall, it is a wonderful abode, providing a spacious and inviting environment for relaxed Montecito living, near all of the shopping, dining, schools and services of the distinctive community’s Upper Village, Coast Village Road, beaches, hiking trails, and the renowned Rosewood Miramar Beach hotel and resort.
