500 Eastgate Lane, Montecito, CA 93108

Overlooking the 7^th fairway of prestigious Birnam Wood Golf Club’s distinguished course and offering a stunning panorama of the Santa Ynez Mountains, this beautifully maintained home is a classic representation of sophisticated Montecito living. Spanning two of guard- gated Birnam Wood’s traditionally substantial lots and embraced by majestic oaks and sycamores, the property is ensured privacy and tranquility. The home and its grounds are truly exceptional.

A RARE AND WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY

The residence is being offered on the market for the first time subsequent to its lifetime of impeccable care, maintenance, and attention to timely improvements. Successfully combining formality and relaxed luxury, it is a place of boundless interior and exterior beauty. Inside, elegant oak floors, abundant built-in bookshelves, fireplaces, and an array of vaulted ceilings – among them, cathedral, tray, and cove -- create a rarified country meets city ambiance of functional elegance.

A FITTING VENUE FOR ELEVATED LIVING

From the formal living room with its grand fireplace boasting a dramatic black marble surround and hearth, generously sized floor-to-ceiling picture window flanked by French doors to the terrace, and its lofty tray ceiling, to the charming den and adjacent sitting room, there is an air of joie de vivre here fitting for both formal and casual gatherings.

The spacious kitchen is prepared for those gatherings, and invites them itself, as it features a lovely wide plank oak floor, vaulted open beam ceiling, a versatile center island, and an abundance of handsome cabinetry. A breakfast area opens to the terrace for alfresco dining.

The home’s radiance flows into the primary and guest bedrooms, though it is tempered there by a feeling of calm abiding. These are welcoming sanctuaries, bathed in natural light thanks to large windows, vaulted ceilings and, in the primary suite, French doors to the terrace.

NATURE AND NURTURE IN HARMONY

Enchantment is manifest throughout the sprawling grounds. From the gracefully curving driveway entrance, to the expansive rear terrace and wooded hillside beyond the backyard, spectacular landscaping exudes vibrant colors bordering verdant and meticulously manicured lawns and hedges. There are beguiling rose and vegetable gardens, and magical walking paths. All thrive in the shade and dappled sunlight gifted by the many towering oaks and sycamores.

SO FAR AWAY, YET SO NEAR AT HAND

One must be reminded that this seemingly secluded retreat is within the gates of Birnam Wood, itself a privileged oasis providing a wealth of recreational and social amenities. Convenient as well is the Birnam Wood Golf Club, and the distinctive shopping and dining opportunities of Montecito’s Upper Village and Coast Village Road.
