Property Description
Architect-Designed Sanctuary in Exclusive Birnam Wood Golf Community Discover a rare gem—the architect's own masterpiece, offered for the first time since its thoughtful creation in 2001. This distinguished single-level residence at 2155 Birnam Wood Drive represents the personal vision of renowned architect R.H. Donnelley Erdman, who transformed what began as a speculative project into his own carefully crafted retreat. Nestled on 1.5 private acres overlooking the third fairway of Robert Trent Jones Sr.'s acclaimed golf course, this 3,350 sqft haven seamlessly blends architectural sophistication with effortless California living. The home's three bedrooms and three bathrooms are thoughtfully positioned within a human-scaled design that celebrates both formal elegance and casual comfort. Step inside to discover soaring ceilings, solid core oversized doors with superior hardware, and rich wood floors flowing throughout the communal spaces. The chef's kitchen, organized for efficiency, opens to breakfast areas bathed in gentle eastern sunlight, while a grand fireplace anchors the living spaces with warmth and distinction. The luxurious primary suite offers a serene sanctuary with high recessed ceilings, mood lighting, and a cozy study nook. French doors reveal two spacious walk-in closets and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring enclosed his-and-her toilets and separate vanities. East-facing windows capture soft morning light in this exceptionally quiet wing. Mature, low-maintenance landscaping frames mountain views and golf course vistas, while the strategic location near the Sheffield Drive gate provides seamless access to Montecito's upper village, Summerland, and coastal attractions. The property benefits from unique privacy, backing to the prestigious Valley Club of Montecito's green buffer. This is architecture with intentiona Princeton-educated designer's legacy home where every detail reflects impeccable taste and timeless design philosophy. From the premium fixtures and lighting systems to the effortless indoor-outdoor flow, the Erdman House represents a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a master's personal creation. Experience where architectural mastery meets Montecito's most coveted lifestyle.
