    What's special

    Beautifully renovated and thoughtfully designed, this charming Montecito cottage offers effortless coastal living just above East Valley Road on a peaceful private lane. The 3-bedroom, 2 bath residence features open living spaces with vaulted ceilings, new flooring, and carefully curated finishes throughout. The new kitchen showcases Italian appliances, honed Carrara marble surfaces, Moroccan brass fixtures, and a deVOL solid brass pot filler imported from England. The newly renovated Bathrooms feature handmade Canadian white oak vanities by Teodor, Zia tile selections, and Casablanca zellige tile, blending craftsmanship with timeless design. Extensive improvements include a new roof with a 30-year warranty, and new electrical, plumbing, heating system, insulation, and lighting. Th landscaped grounds create a peaceful garden setting with lavender, iceberg roses, olive bushes, and coastal rosemary, while a custom hand-built rock wall constructed from stones sourced on the property adds natural character and charm. Enjoy the mountain views from the back yard and raised garden beds, perfect for growing your own local vegetables. Located just minutes from Montecito's Upper Village, scenic hiking trails, and world-class beaches -- and within the highly sought-after Montecito Union School District -- this inviting property offers privacy, style, and convenience.
