Braemar Drive - Santa Barbara

Situated on a lush 1.35+/- acre parcel, this one-of-a-kind masterpiece is truly a work of art, as well as a magnificent home. Tremedous thought went into the construction of this timeless residence. The graceful brick drive guides you past lush pastures to the gated motorcourt. The double doors of the front entrance open to a breathtaking mosaic of a Tuscan Village, with a charming water feature below. The formal living room is perfect for elegant affairs, while the kitchen is the "heart" of the home and opens to the dining room, family room and stunning interior courtyard complete with fountain, fireplace and covered verandas. The main level of the home offers 2 spacious bedrooms with private bathrooms, plus a charming guest bedroom with private patio and fountain. There is also an office, exercise room, full laundry and full bathroom close at hand.
The master suite encompasses the entire upstairs. The current owner took great care to create an "old-world" charm for this sanctuary. Approached via an "exterior feeling" stairwell, you will feel as though you are in a small European village. Two decks each offer tranquil views - one overlooking the patures and gated drive, while the other looks out to the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands. A corner fireplace is ideally positioned to create a sitting area with lovely views. Ocean views are also enjoyed from the sumptuous master bathroom with dramatic custom features.
The outdoors are just as special as the home itself. Rolling lawns, colorful gardens, and fenced pastures draw you outside. After a day in the fields, enjoy a refreshing beverage from the "arena cantina" located on one of the covered patios. The central courtyard or "sala sin techo" is sure to delight, with its flowing fountain, outdoor fireplace and protected green house. Reminiscent of yesteryear, yet with top-of-the-line amenities, this unique estate is a "one of a kind" property.
