Situated in the prestigious Montecito Union School (MUS) district, this estate offers a highly sought-after address with exceptional privacy provided by mature hedges and dual gated entries.
The property includes a separate 2-bedroom guest house, originally a 1916 carriage house, offering rare flexibility for multi-generational living, a home office, or high-end guest hosting.
Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 6366, other record living area = 4764.

Although reimagined in 2002, the interior finishes and major systems are now over two decades old, which may necessitate further modernization to meet the expectations of today's luxury buyers.
Beautiful Days. Cherished Memories. The story of Bedford House began in 1916, where what is now the 2bd guest quarters served as the carriage house to one of Glen Oaks' storied estates. Reimagined in 2002, the original home was transformed to create a family estate in the heart of Montecito. Behind 2 gates & mature hedges in the MUS school district, the home unfolds into a private world of sun-drenched lawns, gardens & spaces that invite both gathering & stillness. A covered porch w outdoor living & dining wraps around the 5bd/4.5ba main residence, where mornings begin tending to the garden & evenings unfold over bocce, dinner by the fire & time spent together. Inside, shared living spaces, a media room & generous bedrooms build a home for every season & a legacy for generations to come.
