840 Ivy Lane

This stunning Montecito home, in the quiet and welcoming enclave of Riven Rock Park, has been painstakingly updated by the present owners in the style of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie architectural design. Exceptional landscape and stonework, charming walking paths, lawns, fruit trees, majestic oaks, and colorful foliage surround the home. The elegant pool and spa, natural stone fire pit and guest house accentuate the essential beauty of this extraordinary park-like setting. The gorgeous gourmet kitchen has been upgraded with Viking and Miele appliances and copper faucets and hardware. Through the adjoining glass breakfast room designed for casual dining, one can view the English garden with its botanical elegance. Walls of tall custom windows with contemporary craftsman design and matching French doors have been added to accentuate the Prairie motif. As stained glass was a hallmark of the elegance and craft in Wright's designs, the owners commissioned an original work by esteemed glass artist, Brian McNally, whose significant work graces many important properties including the San Ysidro Ranch. The work, entitled "Ivy Lane at Riven Rock" surrounds an 18-foot tower-like vintage staircase at the entrance of the home and captures the beautiful natural light (especially at sunset). Schonbeck crystal chandeliers and crystal hardware throughout the home add a timeless yet contemporary appeal in keeping with the updated modern aesthetic.
