This is a hidden Spanish Revival estate in the Montecito Park neighborhood. Even neighbors do not know it is here as it was last on the market 50 years ago. Only a wrought iron gate on the original rock pilasters from 1936 give a hint of what lies up the long tree canopied driveway. The elegant one story 4-bedroom hacienda design is centered around an open courtyard. The formal entry is a time capsule of Saltillo tiles, exposed wood beam ceiling, a window seat of original tiles, and a handmade copper sconce. The formal living room has a gorgeous vaulted wood beam ceiling, long plank flooring, subtle arches, and the original fireplace. The family room has custom built-ins and the same plank flooring. The bright kitchen has been remodeled and overlooks the private front grounds, while the dining room has a high raised ceiling, two original built-in china cabinets, and glass doors opening out to the courtyard. Each of the bedrooms has its own remodeled bath. The master retreat enjoys its own sitting room, walk-in closet,home office, glass doors overlooking the front grounds,and a remodeled master bath. Extending onto its own knoll with a view out over the Oakmont Country Club, the grounds are a wonder with a large front grass area, extra off-street parking, several gardens, play yards and entertaining areas, including an open-air cigar lounge. Features include: CA/FA, an attached garage with interior stair, a work shop, and a secret wine cellar.
