HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales include six in Hope Ranch, including a cleaned-up 1992 villa, a couple of mega-Mediterraneans, and an old-school fixer on Mariposa Drive; the 1931 George Washington Smith house on Plaza Rubio; two in central Montecito; the 1935 Spanish Colonial fixer near the Cold Spring trailhead; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
