Set quietly above the coast in an elevated Montecito setting above the Montecito Country Club, this rare mid-century architectural residence offers a seamless dialogue between structure, landscape, and light.
Reimagined and updated by Brown Design Group, the home preserves its clean horizontal lines and walls of glass while introducing a refined, modern sensibility. The single-level layout unfolds effortlessly, with every room opening to curated gardens, mature oaks, and layered views.
Terrazzo floors, custom walnut cabinetry, and motorized solar shades define the interiors, while an open chef's kitchen anchors the main living spaces--designed for both everyday living and entertaining.
Outdoors, the property becomes immersive. Multiple lounge and dining areas sit beneath a canopy of tre complemented by a cedar soaking tub set within native landscape, a gas fire pit on the ocean-facing deck, and a secondary fire feature in the garden. Beautiful peaks of ocean and island views complete the experience.
2 bedrooms | 2.5 baths | Den or Lounge + Workspace
A rare, design-driven retreat--where architecture and landscape exist in perfect balance.
