Exquisite Mid-Century Modern Oasis in Serene Surroundings

Beyond a circular drive and welcoming fountain courtyard, this distinctive 1957 mid-century modern unfolds across a private acre in the heart of Montecito. Framed by majestic oaks, the home captures the essence of California living, with understated architecture, generous proportions, and a seamless connection to its natural surroundings.

Inside, slate and oak floors bring warmth and texture to the expansive single-level floor plan. A dramatic sunken living room, framed by walls of glass, draws the outdoors in and creates an inviting setting for both quiet afternoons and lively gatherings. The open kitchen and butler’s pantry connect effortlessly to generous dining spaces, while a handsome stone fireplace anchors the family room. Period jalousie windows lend authentic mid-century character, and a dedicated office alcove provides a practical space to work from home.

Designed with both connection and privacy in mind, the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath main residence includes a spacious primary suite in its own wing. In addition, an attached one-bedroom, two-bath guest suite, complete with a separate kitchen, living area, and entrance, offers remarkable versatility for guests, extended stays, or creative pursuits.

Outside, the peaceful grounds feature mature trees, fountains, and filtered mountain views, creating an idyllic setting for entertaining or simply enjoying Montecito’s year-round outdoor lifestyle. Solar power, a Tesla Powerwall, and EV charging add modern convenience and efficiency.

Located in the sought-after Cold Spring School District, with Montecito’s Upper and Lower Villages nearby, this thoughtfully updated property offers something increasingly rare: authentic mid-century character, exceptional flexibility, and the privacy of a full acre in one of California’s most desirable communities.
