Location and style! Architect Peter Becker designed this single-level home and guest house with casual California living in mind. Extensively remodeled, the quality finishes have created a soothing and cohesive ambience throughout the bright, airy rooms. Shimmering light reflects from the pool located in the large central courtyard with five sets of pale blue French doors allowing access from most rooms. The expansive living room has wood beam ceilings and is perfect for entertaining with a fireplace, a dining area, and a butler's pantry. An open plan kitchen and family room features a huge center island, counters of marble, an eating area, and fireplace. There are three spacious bedrooms in the main house, each with its own bath, and each with outside access to the pool and gardens.

Supplements: The office/library, with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, completes the main house. A short stroll on the grounds will lead to a separate one-bedroom guest house and, for fun, a Boules court. All located on slightly under an acre in the heart of Montecito, between the Upper and Lower Villages...a prime location!
