Set upon a very private, tree lined lane w/ only six other homes is this fantastic property by Charles Schmamdt updated by Clark Collins. The neighborhood has the feel of a rural setting, yet this magical, wooded street is only a 3 minute drive from the Santa Barbara Mission & Rose Garden, a 5 minute walk to the Botanical Gardens & countless nature trails that wind into the foothills. The home is situated on an outcropping overlooking Mission Creek. It is essentially a glass tree house set in a magical grove of mature oak trees. What's not to love\?! The house offers the best of mid-century architecture: clean lines with a mix of both organic & geometric shapes, minimal ornamentation, a juxtaposition of different, & sometimes contrasting materials, lots of glass, bringing nature indoors. You can stand in the middle of the living room and see the ocean out of the windows to the South and the mountains out of the windows to the North. Main house is 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths. There are multiple outdoor living areas with stunning views and a setting that is incredibly peaceful.
The detached guest house and office offer incredible flexibility for how a family might live & work on the property. Set on the northern part of the 1 acre, this property could be rented for income or used by family and friends. Private backyard with oaks.

Thoughts from Margie. "Andante is a really special place... it's as though the house is embraced by the mountain itself...
The raw beauty of the site - with its massive sandstone outcrops and majestic live oaks - is breath-taking.
The house has the charming feel of a treehouse. To carry that enchanting feeling throughout the landscape required the lightest of touches on the land. Simple plantings and earthy materials blend beautifully to the site, subtly enhancing its unique character.
Tree-pierced decks, the play of water in a simple fountain and an inviting cedar hot tub complete the feeling of a private natural retreat."
One Sweet property!
