About This Home

As of July 2021

Designed by the renowned architect Peter Edwards in 1962, this stunning 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home is the perfect interplay between mid-century modern cool and the rawness of its natural surroundings. First time on the market, the original owners have meticulously maintained the architectural integrity of the interior and exterior while tastefully updating the kitchen and bathrooms. Perched on a ridge line amongst majestic oaks on 2.4 acres, the home achieves a nest-like feel that looks out towards an expansive panorama of the Santa Ynez Mountains. In addition to the 3 bedrooms, there's a cozy media room, sunroom and flex room w/ separate entrance. The ultimate buy for authentic mid-century modern aficionados who covet country tranquility while just minutes from town.
