Description
Steeped in history and set in a beautiful landscape, Greystone is a 1927 stone residence designed by George Washington Smith. Originally a carriage house for 40 acres of land, this enchanting estate is the ultimate jewel, a sanctuary surrounded by native gardens, ancient oaks, meandering pathways, and stone courtyards that embrace indoor-outdoor living. Thoughtfully curated interiors pair stone walls with steel doors, blending timeless elegance with modern comforts. The kitchen features a large island and walk-in pantry, while the upstairs landing serves as a library. The primary suite offers a fireplace and access to an enclosed veranda overlooking the gardens. A detached studio with an additional bedroom completes this rare architectural gem in Montecito.
