Your inner child will love the surprise at this California estate for sale. See it
A single-level estate that looks like something out of a classic movie has landed on the real estate market in beautiful Montecito, California.
And while the entire home is enchanting, there’s one surprise in the backyard that will make your inner child burst with joy — a custom-built treehouse.
“Nestled just a few doors down from the renowned San Ysidro Ranch and within close proximity to all that the Upper Village has to offer, this exquisite single-level estate spans around 6000 sq. ft. and is situated on 1.7 acres of pristine land,” says the listing on Sotheby’s International Realty that describes the $19.5 million home.
“This home effortlessly blends modern sophistication with timeless charm, providing an unparalleled living experience. The grand entry leads to a spacious living room and formal dining area, opening to a covered patio with an exterior kitchen, BBQ, TV, and fire pit.”
Other features, per the listing, of the three-bedroom, six-bathroom estate include:
Chef’s kitchen
Media room
Gym
Office
Smart home
Swimming pool
Fruit trees
Solar panels
Bocce court
Four fireplaces
But, no joke, the real draw is the treehouse — and that deluxe chicken coop, which is also in the backyard, as seen in the photos.
The treehouse has a fort-like exterior complete with stairs and a bridge. It almost looks like it can be a charming, yet creative, guest house, if you find a way to incorporate indoor plumbing.
The listing is held by Crysta Metzger of Sotheby’s International Realty — Montecito — 1290 Coast Village Road Brokerage.
Montecito is about a 90-mile drive northwest from Los Angeles.
