HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: Carpinteria contemporary for $6 million; 7,789-square-footer in Ennisbrook; off-market Hedgerow flip; Riviera Spanish; a painful loss on a 1929 charmer; 1938 Lower Riviera three-bedroom; the one next to the landslide house on Las Alturas; sexy Riviera compound; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
