HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Montecito mansion for nearly $26 million; 7,000-square-foot New England traditional; Toro Canyon equestrian estate; Hope Ranch off market; the former site of the Glass Pavilion house; Alameda Padre Serra floops; Romero Canyon cottage; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
