A premier 1930s property with staggering ocean views, 1121 Las Alturas Road has a timeless charm that’s rarely found in modern homes. It’s a testament to the fact that good design and quality construction never go out of style.
Noteworthy new listings also include a mystery below the Upper Village; massive outdoor living room above Foothill Road; dual primary bedrooms in San Roque; rustic project behind Eucalyptus Hill; downtown bungalow court; and more. Plus: More thoughts on the $88 million Kitty Litter Manor listing.
There’s a growing trend of prioritizing walkability and accessibility to charming neighborhoods like Montecito’s Upper and Lower Village. Here are four properties that offer easy access to both.
Other recent news: The owner of nearly all local movie theaters declared bankruptcy; Roy Lee appears to have dislodged Das Williams; Garden Street hotel moves forward; the buyer who paid $32 million for the DeGeneres/de Rossi flip; updated FEMA flood maps expected soon; the Macy’s store at La Cumbre is spared for now; Ellwood Marine Terminal to be restored to its natural state; Ellwood Mesa has reopened to the public; wind farm near Lompoc begins operations.

Last week’s sales also include an Ennisbrook casita for just under $6 million; San Roque charmer; likely teardown on Coyote Road; Goleta renovation; 806-square-foot Mesa fixer for $2.1 million; and more.
Plus: Four more Santa Barbara Bowl shows have been announced; chef and humanitarian José Andrés to speak here; the Santa Barbara International Orchid Show; one city parking structure now has electric-vehicle chargers; the Junior League’s annual rummage sale; a free dinner with a lecture about long Covid; the duck migration in Los Alamos.
The fanciest restaurant to open here in a long time is Silvers Omakase in the Funk Zone, a 10-seat chef’s counter centered on sushi. It’s similar to Sushi by Scratch in many ways, and it will inevitably compete for the same clientele. So how does it stack up?
