The Wing House originally designed in 1978 by well known local architect, Michael Carmichael, was so named for its hacienda style in two distinct wings. Completely re-imagined by the Montecito based Warner Group architects in 2019, this 3,500 sq foot house sits on an acre and a half of mature, sustainable lush gardens. The outdoor space includes a newly refurbished 40 ft pool and hot tub, fire pit, tennis court, and basketball hoop designed for evening play. The indoor space, painted in shades of white, features wood floors, Moroccan and Indian rugs and modern art throughout. The house was designed for outdoor living and has an outstanding indoor outdoor flow.
At the far end of the east wing of the house is the primary bedroom suite which features high ceilings and french doors that lead out to a garden and the hot tub/pool. The primary bath has a large steam shower, custom made walnut cabinets, black granite countertops, dual sinks, a makeup vanity, and Moroccan floor tile and chandelier.
The family room features a large expansive steel windows that look out onto the front garden kept private by a white stucco wall that stands between the two entries to the circular drive.
The 500 sq ft white and wood kitchen/ dining room features a wall of steel framed windows, a 10 ft long live edge dining table with wishbone black chairs, a Wolf stove, a Sub Zero refrigerator, and an expanse of skylights. This room opens to the back garden dining area with an outdoor fireplace.
Separating the east and west wings is the large curved, living room, with high, wood beam ceiling. It features french doors that open to the back garden's covered seating area.
The west wing has a half bath, Jack and Jill bedrooms with an original Spanish style bathroom, a laundry room, and a second primary bedroom and bath. This bedroom has french doors that open to the west garden as well as a contemporary desk.
On one and a half completely private acres, this property has 40 palm trees, ten avocado trees, three large tipuana trees, and 30 species of plants, some very old and rare, earning it the title of Little Lotusland.
Most importantly, the owners have created a variety of separate areas to enjoy that include a fire pit, outdoor fireplace, and a tennis and basketball court. You can have afternoon tea under one of the two arbors or take a book or computer to work there. Sip morning coffee with a friend on the two chair swings outside of the master bedroom while watching birds indulge in their morning bath. You can have dinner out, in your own dining area, with its large round table, your back to a roaring fire, while facing the garden and the pool. In the morning you can swim laps in the pool, relax in the hot tub and take the short path directly to the bedroom for a steam shower.
There is ultra high speed WiFi throughout the house, Sonos wireless speakers, air conditioning, cable service with premium channels along with provided premium streaming channels. With several work and play areas both indoors and out, this house is conducive to both work and play.
The house is great for entertaining and can sleep 8-10 people. It has been designed to comfortably accommodate a single couple or two families.
