627 STONE MEADOW LANE Santa Barbara, California

Located just o ff sought-after Picacho Lane in Montecito in Santa Barbara County, on its own secluded cul-de sac, 627 Stone Meadow Lane is the epitome of California cool. The single-story property was fi rstbuilt in 1962 and, although it has been updated for the 21st century, still exudes that mid-century modern, ranch-style feel with a subtle neutral color scheme dotted with earthy tones and materials. The focal point of the home is an airy, high-ceilinged living room which, thanks toa fl oor-to-ceiling pocket door, connects with the outdoor terrace, lounge, kitchen and dining area. Beyond, the thoughtfully landscaped gardens feature a sauna, swimming pool and space for outdoor movie projections. Back inside, the modern kitchen o ff ersyet more entertaining potential, with dining space for 10 slotted amid the Lacanche stove and large Calcutta kitchen island. Like the living areas, this kitchen is designed to deftly bring the outside in, this time via a huge garden-facing retractable window. A separate, more formal dining area is fl anked by a handsome bar while, elsewhere, the state-of-the-art media room has built-in surround sound, a bar and blackout curtains. The fi ve bedrooms are equally as stylish; four secondary rooms all have en-suite bathrooms, and the grand master suite comes complete with a walk-in closet, freestanding bathtub and an indulgent marble steam shower. Adjoining the beautifully presented property is a covered garage with ample space for two vehicles. $13.9m.
