About This Home

As of March 2013

Up a long private driveway, sits a modernist jewel, sun filled and completely immersed in nature. Built in 1967 and Designed by Dan Liebermann, a student of Frank Lloyd Wright at the Taliesin Fellowship. 781 Lilac Drive is constructed of wood and wrapped in glass, with perfectly mitered edges offering a seamless transition between the exterior and the interior. The main living area offers a great open floor plan, flanked by glass on either side opening to a massive wood deck, which carries around the entire lower level. The center piece of the room is a huge cylindrical metal and rock fireplace. The Master and Guest Room are also on the main level each with private decks. There is an additional bedroom, bath and office on the second level. Also included is a detached 100 sq ft bonus studio with deck hidden amongst the oaks, a 2-car garage and 2-car carport with an attached 2 room/1 bath studio. This is an incredibly unique offering with an incredible Montecito address.
