Single Family Residence In Montecito

Set against a picturesque Montecito backdrop, 274 Middle Road is a charming California cottage that pairs historic character with sophisticated craftsmanship.

Built in 1926 and set on approximately 0.40 acres, this property was thoughtfully reimagined, offering an elegant oasis of comfort and privacy. A distinctive blend of custom wood beams, all-new flooring, and carefully selected wall finishes defines the interiors, creating a warm sense of space.

The main residence offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms. A separate two-story guest house provides an additional bedroom and full bathroom. Anchored by a dramatic 30-foot beam, the main level opens to a bespoke Plain English kitchen. Just beyond the kitchen, a serene outdoor patio and rustic stone fireplace create an effortless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

The grounds are framed by expansive lawns, flowering gardens, mature fruit trees, white picket fencing, privacy hedges, and multiple sitting areas beneath redwood trees, offering an inviting setting for relaxed entertaining and everyday enjoyment.

Ideally situated in the heart of Montecito and within the Montecito Union School District, the property offers a rare combination of historic charm, thoughtful design, and relaxed sophistication, with convenient access to local restaurants, cafés, boutiques, beaches, and coastal destinations.
