About This Home

As of November 2021

Ideally situated in the heart of Montecito, adjacent to the Upper Village, lies this updated Spanish cottage. Located next to the private neighborhood entrance to Upper Manning Park and the award-winning Montecito Union School. Unique to Montecito, this neighborhood is the type in which neighbors passing by take a moment to stop and say hello. The owners have fond memories of meeting friends on the school playground, climbing trees and playing tennis in Manning Park, and cutting through the park for ice cream in the Upper Village. Truly a wonderful location for all ages.

For the past 56 years this home was the residence of local artist Dorothy McKenzie. The grand living room, with its vaulted ceilings and an abundance of natural light, was ideal for Dorothy to display her paintings and sculptures which decorate the walls today. This home offers buyers authentic 1920s Spanish charm with traditional oak hardwood floors, red tile roof and built-in cabinetry. Two driveways offer ample parking for the homeowner and their guests.

Included with the main residence is an art studio with attached gallery room and private full bathroom, which has endless potential. Also included are three storage sheds and a meditation gazebo.
