MORE PHOTOS COMING SOON! Welcome to the Upper East's finest: a stately Georgian Revival masterpiece that epitomizes American Colonial elegance, resplendent with modern luxuries and all-new interior amenities that completely transcend mere renovation. Built in 1908 by Francis W. Wilson, the architect of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art, and featured in the 'Santa Barbara Architecture' book, the prominence of this estate is tangible as it invites a legacy of prestige. Tucked behind private tall hedges, this estate rests on an expansive corner lot with mature trees and manicured landscaping that stretch across sweeping lawns. Inside, the scale and room proportions are a testament to premier craftsmanship, with an original grand staircase leading up to spacious bedrooms.Flooded with natural light, the interiors feature original doors and windows, high ceilings, Oak floors, several fireplaces, and intricate molding throughout. The kitchen boasts an oversized marble island, farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and herringbone tile accents. French doors open to a serene backyard oasis with several covered and uncovered verandas, brick terraces, newly landscaped gardens, olive trees, a new pool and jacuzzi, in addition to a detached two-car garage. Upstairs, the primary suite awaits with mountain views, a spacious dressing room, a luxe marble bathroom featuring dual vanities, a sun-lit shower, and tub. The south-west facing upstairs wing enjoys two large bedrooms and an extended office space with peeks of the ocean and architectural monuments. Both rooms share a well-appointed bathroom adorned with exquisite tile details and two vanities. The attached yet versatile guest quarters spans both floors, offering private living quarters with a separate entrance, kitchen, dining space, full bathroom, and two bedrooms, which connect to the main home. In addition, an approximately 1,100 square foot finished attic with ample ceiling height and windows, as well as an unfinished basement, increase the home's functionality and future potential. Ease of living is ensured with amenities such as a new heating system, new air conditioning, built-in speakers, and new plumbing and wiring throughout the home. This gracious home enjoys close proximity to downtown amenities, the Santa Barbara Mission and rose gardens, beloved parks, and renowned local schools. Benefitting from the Mill's Act, this home also takes advantage of significant property tax benefits. This offering is in a league of its own and presents a unique opportunity to own a newly refined Santa Barbara architectural estate.
