64 Olive Mill Road, Montecito CA

Proximity to Montecito’s beautiful Butterfly Beach, Coral Casino Beach Club, and Coast Village Road makes this charming Mediterranean-style townhome the perfect pied-à-terre or year-round residence. Walk through the private gate and portico, enter the tranquil home and immediately enjoy its ambiance of spaciousness and light bestowed by the open floor plan, recessed lighting throughout, and abundance of windows and glass doors to balconies and the lush grounds. Choose a book from the built-in shelves in the living room’s alcove, gaze at the view of the rear gardens, then relax by the fire.

Take a formal or casual meal in the adjacent dining room, or venture beyond for an alfresco repast on the terra cotta-tiled patio with its tropical foliage and resort-like spa. Meal prep is delightful in the lovely kitchen with its stainless appliances, custom cabinets, and marble counters.

The townhome’s charms continue upstairs where the spacious landing hosts a beautiful hardwood floor, wrought iron filigree stair baluster, and a wall of built-in cabinets and bookcases complemented by windows with plantation shutters. The primary bedroom, a restful retreat, features windows and a private Juliet balcony overlooking the lush garden and spa, a lavish bath, and a generous closet. Each of the two additional bedrooms has its own Juliet balcony as well. The residence also enjoys a two-car garage.
