2297 Featherhill Rd, Montecito, CA 93108

Tucked at the end of a charming road in Montecito’s picturesque Romero Canyon neighborhood and offering a refreshing example of nouveau Cape Cod design, this enchanting home captures the essence of coastal chic. It rests on nearly an acre of meticulous landscaping that incorporates mature trees, verdant lawns, and gardens of white roses and colorful azaleas.

COMMON AREAS

Stepping into the home, one is instantly transfixed by the white-on-white living room, literally glowing thanks to an abundance of natural light beaming through large multi-paned windows crowned with transoms, and French doors complemented by sidelights. The stunning space soars to its open truss cathedral ceiling. Underfoot, a wide plank floor adds a bit of country farmhouse feel, enhanced by the warmth of a stone fireplace.

The living room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, creating a wondrous great room. The kitchen, recently remodeled, hosts high-end appliances, a tray ceiling with indirect lighting, and three handsome chrome pendant lights above a dramatic marble waterfall center island. From here, French doors with sidelights open to the dining porch: a spacious sunroom framed by seven multipaned windows that overlook the rear grounds and create an indoor-outdoor alfresco ambiance for a truly delightful formal or informal dining experience. A den, with shiplap paneling and open truss ceiling, opens to the patio, sprawling rear lawn, and the Santa Ynez Mountains in the distance.

BEDROOM RETREATS

The four bedrooms, some with baths ensuite, are a diverse collection of comfortable retreats. The first level bedroom wing hosts a pair of peaceful guest rooms, and leads to the roomy primary suite where three awning windows combined with the wide plank wood floor, vaulted ceiling, and French doors to an intimate private patio create a pleasant tableau. The luxurious primary bath has dual sinks, a glassed-in shower, walk-in closet, and stone floor, countertop, and soaking tub surround. The expansive upstairs guestroom features a high vaulted open beam and truss ceiling, and provides many options, including as a bedroom with sitting area, a studio, or an office.

THE GROUNDS

The rear grounds -- guaranteed privacy by a stone wall, trees, heavy bushes and other flora – constitute a perfect sanctuary. There is a beautiful new pool with a Baja shelf and oversized spa, gorgeous lawn, and a patio with built-in fire pit. These outdoor amenities combine with the home’s indoor comforts to create a singular Montecito abode perfect as a year-round residence or home away from home.
