About This Home

As of March 2025

Located in a beloved Montecito location with vast ocean views and a fabulous floor plan, this newly remodeled home is everything you've been waiting for! The design/build firm of Becker Studios reimagined the residence in 2015 resulting in a home that embodies the style and ease for which Montecito is known. Steel doors and windows pair beautifully with wide plank oak floors. Public spaces flow effortlessly with expansive terraces and celebrate an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The main level primary has a dream en suite bathroom and spacious closet. Two more bedroom suites on the main level plus two more upstairs make this layout idea for all seasons of life. Multiple garden districts are scattered throughout the property and are aided by a private well. Beautiful spaces abound inside and out
