J.D. Roth has listed this spectacular getaway for $3.6M.

A meandering cottage along meandering, landscaped grounds, with French doors opening onto the property from bedrooms and offering the possibility of escape, the nineteen fifties Montecito house is really very charming. There’s even a fieldstone fireplace abutting an outdoor patio and dining area—how long has it been since you’ve seen one of those in upscale Southern Cal real estate?

The home features four bedrooms and three baths, including a guest suite. Ceilings are generally vaulted, and the living room features a bay window framing the landscape, and a brick corner fireplace. The kitchen is more cozy than constricted, with nicely broad windowing opening things up a bit with green vista. Bedrooms have the same sense of comforting enclosure one expects in a country cottage.

Outside, a large brick patio begins with a skylit roof before expanding into a larger lounge area, culminating in a simple, rectangular pool. The property gardens extend across about an acre of land offering mountain views.
