MONTECITO MODERNIST VILLA

Authentic Spanish tile, original bathtubs, Venetian statues, and reclaimed wooden beams taken from the very same house — these are only a few of the souvenirs and storied mementos found in this lovingly maintained 1906 masterpiece.

REFINED CALIFORNIA LIVING

Perched above Montecito, this modernist villa is framed by mature landscaping as it gracefully unfolds over 0.94 terraced acres. Palm trees, bougainvillea, and native flora combine with breathtaking architectural features for a relaxed, California approach to this highly acclaimed estate.

ARTISTRY & ARCHITECTURE

Inside, a dramatic museum-like floorplan breathes life into its stunning eclectic accents. This 6 bedroom, 7.5 bathroom estate was crafted for those looking to experience the unrepeatable.

BREATHTAKING CRAFTMANSHIP

Each bedroom offers both luxury and privacy, complemented by an abundance of natural light. The highlight of the primary bedroom is its access to a generous wrap-around deck, perfect for catching a glimpse of the ocean as you drink your morning coffee.

ENDLESS CHARACTER

Enviable bathrooms feature intricate details, from authentic tilework to impressive fireplaces, emphasizing this home’s endless character.

FOR THE HOST AT HEART

Not to be missed is the incredibly spacious, open-concept kitchen that features original exposed brick. Equipped with an AGA stove, breakfast nook, dumbwaiter, wine cellar, and tasteful open cabinets it’s your perfect setting to cook the old family recipes you’ve always wanted to try.

WHERE MEMORIES ARE MADE

Designed with family in mind, discover an impressive game room on the lower level for late nights full of laughter, just a few wet footsteps from the pool. Turn the corner, and you’ll find a generously sized private guesthouse studio once home to music legend, David Crosby.

DREAMY BACKYARD RETREAT

Perusing the grounds of this dreamy retreat invites visitors to experience a bit of la dolce vita — lush courtyards, a koi pond, numerous sitting areas with state-of-the-art outdoor fire pits, an incredible resort-style pool, and sauna.

A HOME WITH HISTORY

Constructed in the early 20th century, the original owner traveled overseas during the war and became infatuated with the Neo-Classic Modernist style. Upon his return, he remade the entire home. An underlying mystery remains as to who exactly he was — but it’s been rumored to be the prolific architect, Frances Underhill, who built some of the most enduring buildings in Santa Barbara.

GENERATIONS OF EXCELLENCE

Today, the house provides an interpretation of pared-down grand interiors of early-20th century Neo-Classicism: a relaxed, everyday approach to an otherwise stately and formal home.

NO DETAIL OVERLOOKED

In 2016, Becker Studios remodeled the home, resulting in an unparalleled 115-year-old villa full of modern comforts. The preexisting architecture was clean and modern, requiring only a small infusion of warmth and comfort.

EVERLASTING BEAUTY

Full of original glory and a deeply personal sensibility, this 1908 Neo-classical Modernist Villa is undeniably magnificent as it is one-of-a-kind. Experience a truly authentic and irreplaceable Santa Barbara feat, where every detail has a story.
