Great unfurnished MUS rental. Located in walking distance to the Rosewood Hotel and Butterfly Beach, on a spacious lot at the end of a private lane, this Classic Monterey Colonial offers the best of everything. Surrounded by mature trees, meandering pathways and tranquil outdoor living areas, the residence feels like it is set in a private botanical garden. The open interior is equally impressive: a main level bedroom suite, a dining room and an expansive living room with a fireplace are just a few of the highlights. Built in 1925, the home offers all of the features that make older properties a prized possession, including hardwood floors, numerous large windows, French doors and high, wood-paneled ceilings. Updated with an emphasis on preserving the original character and charm, the kitchen has a distinctive tile backsplash, butcher block counters, custom wood cabinetry and high-end appliances, including a gas range. An adjacent breakfast nook with walls of glass is perfect for morning coffee; a nearby deck with vaulted ceilings and a stone patio provide a relaxing venue for dining or relaxing outside. All of the bathrooms have also been updated, the secondary bedrooms are generous in size and the luxurious master suite opens to a spacious covered veranda that runs the length of the front of the home, a thoughtful design feature that allows for peaceful mountain views and cooling ocean breezes to circulate. Other highlights include a detached home office with a covered entry, a large basketball/sports court lined with towering mature hedges, a tree house and an attached garage. With a pri location in the highly sought-after Montecito Union school district, a sophisticated interior that shows superior attention to detail and a park-like atmosphere, this refined coastal home is the ultimate legacy property.
