Supplements: A spectacular Montecito estate suitable for royalty, Somerset is located on billionaire's row in Montecito's Golden Quadrangle. 5 Beds / 7 baths + 2 guest houses & 2 pools, secluded behind massive gates, this estate lives like a private resort! Originally built in 1918, this is a house firmly rooted in history, but adorned with every modem convenience: a European country masterpiece lovingly restored with impeccable attention to each and every detail. It is at once cozy and commanding; charming and impressive; intimate and grand. A short stroll from Montecito's upper Village, this retreat is nestled behind ion entry gates and a wall of hedges on 1.6 beautiful fully landscaped acres framed by gorgeous mountain views and majestic ancient oaks. A rustic hand-carved wooden entry door welcomes you into the large foyer, where a wall of windows two stories high frame the spectacular view of mountains, trees and gardens. Hardwood floors throughout the home give it warmth and old world charm that mix seamlessly with its array of modern appointments. The spacious living room features inspiring vaulted ceilings with hand hewn beams, an impressive two story cut stone fire-place, picturesque bay window and a generous bar. French doors flood the room with natural light and lead to the outdoor living area, swimmer's pool and formal gardens. This is truly a home for all seasons and every occasion. Two quaint bedrooms, each with private bathrooms, form a private suite just off of the living room. The west wing of the home boasts a formal dining room with fireplace, a superb butler's pantry, an intimate family room and breakfast area opening to the spacious, bright and airy gourmet kitchen. Highlighted by white marble counter tops, a grand center island, two over-sized sinks and state of the art appliances, this kitchen is both elegant and functional. Completing the first floor are a wine cellar and two private bedroom suites. Enjoy the views as you ascend the stairs to the luxurious master suite comprising the entire second floor. With soaring ceilings, a beautiful fireplace and French doors opening to a large private balcony, it is truly a peaceful and relaxing sanctuary offering sweeping views of the entire estate. The suite is complete with a separate sitting room, spa-like his and her bathrooms with expansive walk-in closets. The estate grounds are remarkable for their playfulness and beauty: featuring a swimmer's pool, private Jacuzzi and shower area, artistic gardens, delightful fountains, meandering walkways and hidden sitting areas. In addition to the several distinct living and dining areas there is a party-friendly bar, fireplace, and extensive outdoor kitchen facilities. The first of the two guest houses on the property is appointed with stone and hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, kitchen, living room, one private bedroom, full bathroom, and an upstairs loft bedroom, as well as private gardens, and its own lap pool.
