About This Home

As of July 2025

This tranquil East Mountain hillside estate, built and occupied by the original family owners features panoramic coastline ocean island views and a prestigious location in the Montecito neighborhood enclave. The custom designed villa circa 1935 is of Mediterranean Spanish Colonial influence having such elements as elevated wood beamed ceilings, thick interior stucco walls, cement and stone patios and tile and wood floors. Depicting character and quality workmanship of its time, the residence remains in its original design, reflecting limited renovations and restoration. A separate studio as well as laundry/workshop area open from the building's exterior. The property enjoys a private setting, outstanding views, and convenient access to Montecito amenities, hiking trails, and the beach
