The brilliant bougainvillea on the back patio was the detail that made me most suspicious. You know: that vibrant fuchsia color that looks too beautiful to be natural. After the magnificent exterior and the jaw-dropping island view through the entryway, when I spied the bougainvillea, I truly thought maybe I was walking onto a movie set instead of an actual home.
Despite its picture-perfect details, this graceful estate in Montecito is definitely real, and ready for new residents who will live in it and cherish it into its next chapter.
Designed by renowned Santa Barbara Architect Don Nulty, the home at 1439 Irvine Lane exudes charm and serenity from the moment you enter through the property’s front gates. An expansive motor court provides both practical and aesthetic advantages. It allows for large-scale parking space and serves also as a viewing area from which to admire the façade of the house.
