Some homes impress with scale. Others captivate with character. Tucked behind the gates of an intimate enclave of 7 homes, this enchanting Tudor–inspired cottage is one of those rare properties that feels entirely its own—a home defined not simply by square footage, but by atmosphere.
Significantly remodeled and carefully refined over the years, the residence combines the romance of a Montecito country home with the comfort and technology of modern living. The floor plan is especially compelling: true one-level living, with three en suite bedrooms and open, yet individual spaces. Natural light pours through new Sierra Pacific windows and doors consistently throughout the day, while thoughtful architectural details give the home a sense authenticity that's increasingly difficult to find. A unique standout: laundry/craft room that's visited by desire, not dread. It features 2 washers/2 dryers, generous counters, a custom rolling craft table, farmer sink, hidden ironing board and an abundance of lighting. Connected by a covered breezeway, the four-car garage is exceptional. Above it, a charming loft becomes a destination of its own. Dormer windows, reclaimed barn-wood flooring and 1/2 bath makes this the perfect escape. Mature landscaping surrounds the home with remarkable seasonal beauty that feels private and intimate. The grounds are accompanied by numerous patios and mature shading trees - and a newly constructed greenhouse adds yet another layer to the property’s distinctive character. A short stroll outside the gate connects you to High Line Canal and local favorites, Trader Joe’s, Original Pancake, Sazza & Starbucks.
**Perhaps the home’s greatest luxury is what it intentionally is not. There is no basement filled with rooms waiting to be used. The home was conceived around a more thoughtful idea—that elegance can be intimate, that every room should have purpose.
This is a home with Soul - A place that will invigorate you long after you've left.
