About This Home

As of September 2020

This stunning mid-century home sits at the top of the beautiful hills of Montecito Heights, perfectly positioned to take advantage of the incredible natural environment while enjoying all the comforts of city living. The main level provides an airy, light filled living space that has been tastefully updated to create the ideal area for relaxing and entertaining. Just off the kitchen, a guest bedroom with its own direct access would also work wonderfully as a home office, art studio, or gym. Upstairs each of the three bedrooms offers something uniquely charming, from vaulted ceilings and private patios to additional incredible views. Its a rare combination to have both sweeping vistas and a large useable back yard but this property offers just that. Not to mention its only minutes away from the shops and restaurants that have made Highland Park such a destination over the years.
