utstanding views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands and scenic mountains coupled with the architecture of one of the most
respected firms responsible for some of our most romantic and cherished structures including the Arlington Theatre and many classic
homes make this a special Montecito estate. William Albert Edwards and Joseph Plunkett designed this charming Monterey Spanish
home in 1931 and named it “Blessed Little Ranch.” The Edwards Duque Estate sits today on approximately 3.175 acres on two legal
parcels in the Montecito foothills on a promontory that affords it a panoramic coastal view along with rare privacy.
The commanding two-story home was built in an era of quality, craftsmanship and attention to architectural details. Principal rooms include the
two-story living room with its massive beamed ceiling and surrounding wrought-iron balcony, formal dining room, sunroom, butler’s pantry,
kitchen, and breakfast room. In addition, there is a master suite, five family bedrooms, plus a two-bedroom staff wing with a shared bath off
the kitchen. There’s also a separate approximately 900 sq. ft. 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest cottage. Three wrought-iron balconies and first-floor
terraces all provide breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean. The property also benefits from a long, private approach and by being within
the very highly respected Montecito Union School District. It’s a rarity today to find this combination of period architecture and quality
construction still benefitting from panoramic and uninterrupted coastal views.
