Description

Perched on a knoll-top amid lush coastal landscapes, this Traditional New England estate will transport you to a world of classic architectural beauty and timeless allure. Designed by the late Peter Becker, a visionary Santa Barbara architect whose legacy endures through his successor firm, this property exemplifies bespoke craftsmanship and distinctive design that sets it apart. From featuring unique oval #039;#039;porthole#039;#039; windows inspired by Jefferson#039;s Monticello to a soaring 14-foot cathedral-style ceiling composed of 54 individually crafted panelsmdash;a 12-month endeavor in itself. With materials thoughtfully sourced from near and far, every element reflects a dedication of unparalleled artistry and a reverence for authenticity. Completed in 2012 after a meticulous five-year process, this residence features elegant French doors with beamed ceilings throughout the living areas and boasts 4 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, a total of 7 fireplaces, and a 3-level elevator. The spacious layout encompasses a living room, a dining room, and an impressive chef#039;s kitchen equipped with Viking appliances, along with a cozy breakfast nook and a family room. The media room offers the perfect space for entertainment, while the 640-bottle wine cellar and a secret walk-in safe concealed behind a wall panel provide additional luxury. A separate guest wing includes a bedroom, living area, and kitchenette, ensuring comfort and privacy for visitors. Outside, you#039;ll find a bocce ball court, an authentic wood-fired pizza oven, several patios perfect for entertaining, a 3-car garage (with additional parking for 25+ cars across the street), and an abundant landscape with a garden that enhances the property#039;s natural beauty.
