Located between the sea breeze of the Funk Zone and the timeless charm of The Post in Montecito, The Sea Captain’s House at 428 Corona del Mar offers five bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths across two units and approximately 3,100 square feet. Restored with care in 2019, the 1911 home balances original craftsmanship with modern coastal living. An open house will be held tomorrow (Thursday, October 23), from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Framed by gardens and embraced by a classic white picket fence, the home greets you with a cheerful red Dutch door. Inside, character and charm unfold in every room, blending history with a sense of openness and calm. The main residence features three bedrooms and one and a half baths, with light spilling through picture windows and wood-beamed ceilings adding warmth to every gathering space.

Upstairs, a separate two-bedroom one-bath unit includes its own kitchen and living area, filled with natural light and a bright, airy feel, perfect for extended family, private guest quarters, or as a flexible rental opportunity. And a detached garage and small art studio add flexibility for work, hobbies, or quiet retreat.
