Newsletter: November 21

November 21, 2019|by Erik Torkells

EVERYONE’S A CRITIC
The café at Field + Fort is a game changer for Summerland: The menu is far more interesting than anything this side of Merci Montecito and Bettina, and the setting—at a communal table inside or out on the terraces—couldn’t be lovelier. Menu and photos, right this way….

·················

HAMMER TIME!
This 1927 Montecito estate is heading to auction. While there’s a lot to like about the location, the house—currently listed for $7 million—isn’t in great shape, and anyone hoping to tear it down might face objections from the county. Any guesses on what it’ll go for?

·················

••• Los Agaves is opening a Oaxacan spinoff across from the beach (above).
••• S.Y. Kitchen is said to be taking over the Fess Parker Wine Country Inn restaurant.

GOOD HOUSEPEEKING
Highlights from this weekend’s open houses: a pair of adobes to compare and contrast; 2.5-acre oceanfront cottage compound on the Mesa; a sprawler on Hidden Valley Lane (above); midcentury sex appeal in Cielito; and a Cubist white elephant.

·················

ODDS & ENDS
••• The list of recyclable plastics has shrunk.
••• The rise of “South American Theft Groups.”
••• Four-story, 21-unit rental complex planned for De La Vina Street (above).
••• Patti Smith charity performance.
••• Closing prices for two houses profiled on this site.
••• Olive Mill roundabout design.

OPEN LETTER
California has made building an ADU much easier. “The state of California wants to ensure more housing get built quickly,” writes broker Scott Williams. “This is one of the biggest opportunities in real estate since my career began in 1977.”
