At almost 4,000 sq ft of living space, the home has been impeccably maintained, honoring its architectural roots while offering a refined sense of comfort and scale. A gracious courtyard anchors the property, inviting long afternoons of indoor-outdoor living, al fresco dinners, and evenings softened by ocean air and mountain light.

At almost 4,000 sq ft of living space, the home has been impeccably maintained, honoring its architectural roots while offering a refined sense of comfort and scale. A gracious courtyard anchors the property, inviting long afternoons of indoor-outdoor living, al fresco dinners, and evenings softened by ocean air and mountain light. From almost every room within, sweeping views unfold across the Pacific Ocean, the Channel Islands, and the Santa Ynez Mountains, shifting with the day and season. The primary suite feels palatial with generous proportions, outfitted with a luxurious ensuite bath and walk-in closet.
