This rare 1934 Spanish Colonial Montecito three-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom home has undergone an exquisite renovation and thoughtful redesign, adding modern features and luxe finishes while preserving the elegant 1930s charm and irreplaceable character. Terraced sandstone walls, wrought iron railings and sconces, handmade red roof tiles, stone patios, grand wood beams, French doors, and a gorgeous garden equal the timeless “old Montecito” elegance. Located on a quiet lane and walkable to the highly sought-after Cold Spring School, Westmont College, and Lotusland.


The upper level of this home features original French oak floors, gorgeous living room with vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and grand fireplace, formal dining room, high-end custom kitchen, multiple French doors, two bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, and a lovely powder room. The lower level offers a separate media room, spacious bedroom, full bathroom, laundry, and generous closets.
The gardens connect seamlessly to the home, and an award-winning landscape design firm reimagined the entire property to include multiple outdoor entertaining areas, along with a built-in gas grill and fire pit lounge with a mountain view. Two bubbling fountains complement the serene scene with a stone patio dining and lounge areas, rolling lawn, raised vegetable planters, and tree swing, creating the authentic indoor-outdoor Santa Barbara lifestyle.
