Situated on a flat and private promontory and up a gated driveway is this inspiring, verdant retreat on over 20,000 sf of land. A vintage Spanish hacienda ranch home consists of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, awash with westerly light and featuring brick walls, lofty whitewashed ceilings, and an updated kitchen. The home is uniquely situated on the land, with multiple sprawling outdoor spaces for large-scale entertaining, showcasing sweeping hillside vistas and calm garden views. Special motifs found in wood carvings, door thresholds, and ironwork throughout the home and property celebrate nature, plants, and animals. The front porch opens to a spacious view deck and sunken fire pit. Behind the home is shaded pergola, garden with citrus, pomegranate, loquat, and avocado trees, and a delightful bubbling fountain. A detached studio with 3/4 bath is ready for creative work, play, or guests. Meander through the mature cactus and succulent garden pathways to a large flat yard. Under a mature walnut tree, entertain friends and family or consider the possibilities of this area for future expansion. Two additional garages offer plenty of room for cars and storage. Life at 811 Montecito offers quick access into Earnest E. Deb's Park and Peanut Lake, and minutes down the road is Highland Park's chic Figueroa Blvd. with Cookbook, Cafe Birdie, Good Housekeeping, GGET, and more. Published in Poketo's Creative Spaces book, this home offers a creative, nature-centered life, well-lived in Montecito Heights.
