Summerland Hillside - Walk to the beach or hike in the foothills from your hillside home in Summerland, a small coastal community nestled between Montecito and Carpinteria's polo fields. With a historic antiques trade and a reputation for thriving home and garden goods boutiques, Summerland's main street is vibrant and well appointed while retaining the its small town privacy and calm. 2261 Whitney is situated above it all.

Terraces abundant with vibrant botanicals and specimen trees pair with flagstone paths and patios to provide ample private outdoor space for rest and reflection. Raised beds invite the creative productivity of the budding gardener. An outdoor shower makes it convenient to rinse both bodies and toys after a day at the beach.

Inside, the front door opens to a spacious foyer and steps invite us down into the large family room with vaulted beamed ceiling and stone fireplace. Beautiful fir floors in the dining room and kitchen complete the cozy vibe. Light pours in from windows on all sides, but the wall of french doors and the picture window on the south and west draw all eyes to the panoramic view of the Pacific. A large wrap-around deck and doors from the kitchen and family room provide easy access back outdoors. On the first floor there is also a thoughtfully designed office that could double for a fourth guest bedroom along with a shower room.

Upstairs is the laundry room, two additional bedrooms, the family bathroom and the primary suite. The two bedrooms enjoy hardwood floors, double closets and beautiful foothill views. But why leave the primary suite? Greet the rays of dawn over the Pacific from the balcony. Enjoy the walk through closet with built ins. Even bathe with a view.

A detached garage and parking apron provide shelter for vehicles and room for guests.
