A creative, nature-centered architectural retreat in Montecito Heights. Newly constructed in 2017, this custom home draws inspiration from understated, mid century design. Breathtaking hillside panoramic vistas greet you from the upper entertaining deck and open plan living, dining and kitchen below. Unique design elements and expert craftsmanship give soul to this special home. The kitchen features custom walnut cabinetry, Quartzite counters, Viking range, and a unique moveable island with built-in cabinetry. The main level features white oak plank flooring and Fleetwood sliders, showcasing green views. There is an expansive balcony with grill, metal planters, and a custom bird bath and feeder. The primary suite is functional and private with walk in closet and large bathroom with roomy shower. A petite bedroom/office and additional bath complete the main level. Downstairs, a guest bedroom, bathroom, and den/flex space opens to the lower outdoor area with unique outdoor shower, bench seating, and large planters. The lower yard is a true urban farmer's dream, with native plantings plus pomegranate, citrus, and olive trees dotting the property, with lots of room for chickens or bees or pool! Spacious 2 car garage plus laundry/utility room complete the residence. Life in Montecito Heights is creative and low key, set amongst nature with friendly neighbors. Just moments from the front door, you have Flat Top Park, a neighborhood favorite with trails and a beautiful spot to watch the sun set over the downtown skyline. Hiking in Earnest E. Deb's Park is close by, too! This home feels like a retreat somewhere far from the city, yet minutes from Highland Park, the 110, downtown, and Pasadena.
