...Gain a whole new perspective of close-up ocean and island views with the backdrop of the colorful Coastal Range from this extraordinary & tranquil single level Montecito haven. Perfectly positioned to capture views from sunrise to sunset from every room in the house, experience a panorama of ever-changing immutable beauty.

The front motor court presents a classic Mediterranean hacienda façade. But step through the front entry and you will appreciate a unique design by the owner's parents, true visionaries that understood the home was merely a blank canvas to enjoy the jaw-dropping views. Huge picture windows and glass doors wrap around the home's east, south and western exposures. Like contemporary homes, very few walls interfere with the view
