Behind mature hedges and two private gated entrances, 240 Miramar Avenue offers a secluded Montecito retreat moments from the coast and Upper Village. Once the farmhouse of the historic Hedge Row estate, the nearly two-acre property pairs a storied setting with a residence designed by architect Peter Becker and completed in 2001. The approximately 9,000-square-foot, shingle-style home draws on classic Cape Cod architecture and opens naturally to its gardens and outdoor living spaces. Seven bedrooms, with potential for an eighth, eight full bathrooms, and six fireplaces provide room to gather and room to retreat. The primary suite features dual bathrooms, generous walk-in closets, and a soaking tub. Formal living and dining rooms, a spacious great room, billiards room, and bar offer inviting spaces for both celebrations and everyday life. Outside, century-old heirloom roses, mature specimen trees, fruit trees, and manicured gardens create a lush, established landscape. A pool, three formal fountains, lighted bocce court, and outdoor kitchen with barbecue, refrigeration, and dining areas make the grounds as welcoming as the home. An outdoor shower and dedicated pet washing station add thoughtful touches. A three-car garage, separate she shed, gardener's shed, security system, private road access, and a private well serving the landscaping and pool complete this distinctive Montecito estate.
