Rarely does a home hit the market that checks all the boxes. This stunning, single-level, 6-bed, 4-bath home sits in a class of its own, and after a multi year, head to toe renovation and redesign, it could be yours. Stepping inside you realize this is no ordinary property. Natural light, vaulted ceilings and openness are the theme throughout. The floor plan is incredibly smart, with 5 beds including the primary on one side, casual living in the middle and kitchen, dining and a guest bed on the other. The primary, kitchen and public spaces all open to the dreamscape backyard with incredible pool, massive Baja shelf and spa, multiple sunny lounge areas, fireplace, fire pit, sports court, 2 lighted dinning areas, a hidden play area and over 30 fruit trees. The list of upgrades, from efficiency, environmental and technical are endless. No corners cut, no wasted space and nothing left for you to do except enjoy. Santa Elena is located in one of the few true neighborhoods in Montecito and convenient to the Lower Village, beaches and Montecito Union School.
