Lush Gardens and Unique Fire Pit - Charming Oasis Retreat

Lush manicured gardens are overflowing with an abundance of vibrant roses, colorful bougainvillea, olive trees, and boxwood borders around the lawn and garden beds. A mature magnolia tree hovering over a unique fire pit and fountain offers filtered shade throughout the enclosed backyard. Dining al fresco and stargazing is a must! Pride and joy are at the heart of this transformed 100-year-old residence; modern amenities and freshly updated decor blend ever so sweetly with old-world charm. The two-story main house, designed by renowned architect Mary Craig, is a refreshing blend of classic Euro-style seamlessly complimented by a modern twist of grey tone tiles to keep things fresh and contemporary. Cool white stucco, cerulean blue trim, period art, and comfy furnishings in a soothing color palette reflect the owner's tasteful perspective and impeccable style. A vaulted wood truss beam ceiling soars over a sun-filled living room with French doors opening to the stunning backyard, dining terrace and tranquil sounds of birds and the fountain beyond. Whether warming up by the fireplace on a cool night or enjoying lively streaming programming on the flat screen tv, this central heart of the home beckons gatherings and lively conversation. Of course, if one must work, the vintage desk could also be just the spot to get some business or studying done while on vacation too. Conveniently there is a powder bath adjacent to the room as well. Whimsical wallpaper in pastel coral colors and a dramatic iron chandelier accent the spacious kitchen of sage green perfectly. Meal preparation, bread baking, or even the simple task of preparing pancakes for little hungry guests is easy at the peninsula counter with a prep sink. The distressed wood dining table seats at least six easily for in-kitchen dining. The next best spot for Sunday brunch or quiet conversation is the blue bistro table in the center of the enclosed courtyard between the kitchen and the detached one-car garage. Step out the wrought iron gate and stroll through the picturesque Hedgerow streets as a daily practice. Up a gently winding staircase, French doors lead to an adorable "terraza," simply ideal for a morning espresso or sunset glass of Prosecco. It is the most perfect perch at any time of day to enjoy the beauty of the immaculate landscape below. The primary bedroom with a king-size bed feels like a chic, boutique hotel room. Toss open the French doors to let the coastal breezes waft into the sun-filled room. The second bedroom offers a queen-size bed and pretty views of the gardens and backyard below. The two bedrooms share a Jack and Jill bathroom with a large glass walk-in shower. The detached guest studio with a sitting room, fireplace, bathroom, and kitchenette is a lovely space amid the garden oasis. With a private entrance off the kitchen and gated driveway, the guest who desires more autonomy can feel close to the main house activities but enjoy a little more separation and privacy. A notable upgrade is having the E-car charger available right outside the wrought iron gate on the driveway. The Hedgerow area is between the Upper and Lower Villages of Montecito, where fine dining at Lucky's, shopping at trendy boutiques like Whisky and Leather on Coast Village Road, or scheduling a casual breakfast with locals and friends at The Pharmacy in the Upper Village, are all in close proximity to Villa Rosetta. It is also most notable that Butterfly Beach, and The Rosewood Miramar Resort are easily within walking distance. It is an absolute must to have happy hour or dinner at Caruso's overlooking the ocean at sunset! Living the sweet life is brought to you by Villa Rosetta..."amare," enjoy! *** Please note that there is currently a home across the street undergoing construction and depending upon the work being completed, there may be some noise associated with it. *** Minimum age to book this property is : 25
