In the veritable heart of Montecito Heights, proudly stands La Sentinelle, a Contemporary Modern split-level home with rustic details, basking in the scenic embrace of the surrounding canyon and steadfastly keeping watch over the hillside below. Fully refreshed & thoughtfully reimagined by Los Angeles based Architectural Design House, Casa For You, this soaring 3BD + 2.75BA sentinel showcases breathtakingly lush panoramic tree-top views and a generous fenced-in backyard with room enough for a pool, garden, ADU, or all of the above. Past a gurgling fountain, that lovingly serves as a bird bath, and through the solid wood statement door and foyer, step down a small set of stairs onto the main floor, where you will find an open concept living + dining room, kitchen, and full bath with detached powder room. The modern kitchen features European-style dual tone cabinets, white quartz counters with bar seating, pendant lighting, and all brand new black stainless steel Samsung appliances. Brand new dual pane bi-fold doors open completely out to the wraparound balcony, where you can contemplate the verdant canopy of trees, soothing sounds of nature, and golden glow of the setting sun. From the foyer, make your way up a flight of stairs onto the first landing, occupied entirely by an impressive primary suite, blessed with its own private balcony & vistas, cathedral ceiling, 2 walk-in closets, and a 3/4 bath with dual vanity & stylish shower. Continue up another small flight of stairs onto the top most floor offering 2 guest bedrooms, full bath, bonus loft/office, and separate laundry room with W/D hookups. Right off the living room balcony, climb down a set of exterior stairs onto a large newly built wooden view deck: the perfect place for al fresco dining, entertaining, and more contemplating. This home comes complete with a finished 2-car garage, as well as a driveway that can fit up to 2 additional cars. Carved into one of the most unspoiled & coveted creative enclaves of Northeast LA, the location of this property is made even more remarkable by the fact that it is literally just steps away from a trailhead leading into the expansive & untouched Ernest E. Debs Regional Park. La Sentinelle has been beautifully restored with the following: brand new kitchen & bathrooms; all new pex plumbing; brand new tankless water heater; updated asphalt shingle roof; upgraded Honeywell Home-controlled central HVAC; brand new scratch-resistant & waterproof vinyl plank floors; brand new dual pane bi-fold doors, windows, and French door; freshly painted wood siding & stucco exterior; new redwood & stainless steel cable wire fencing around the balconies & view deck; and landscaping, including a majestic eucalyptus tree, new sprinkler system, new sod & decomposed granite. Make this home yours!
