There are many beautiful houses in Santa Barbara, but there aren’t a lot of cool ones—and 2010 Las Tunas Road has coolness in spades. While the architecture is classic, evoking Santa Barbara the way it used to be, everything else is new.
Noteworthy new listings also include a couple of biggies in Hope Ranch; Riven Rock with a lovely pool area; flip attempts on Marina Drive and Picacho Lane; “Endless Summer” filmmaker Bruce Brown’s 42-acre coastal ranch; Riviera fixer; an ode to white; recent renovation in Summerland; the 1920 bungalow next to Jeff Shelton’s Vera Cruz house; and more.
