20 Alston Place | Montecito

Open, airy and alluring, this classic ranch house
embodies the California dream. Resting on an
elevated perch with ocean, mountain and expansive
views over a lushly landscaped 1.25 acres, a surprise
awaits as you pass through the bright red entry door
and are greeted by the first of many exterior
courtyards.
Long vistas open outward toward the sun drenched
property and offer glimpses of what’s to come. The
long, low-slung profile with large wide interior and
exterior corridors and courtyards on all sides define
the ranch style, blending modernist concepts with
nostalgia for the American West. Throughout the
home, windows and doors are in abundance, along
with pitched roofs, wood floors and multiple
gathering spots both inside and out.
All about sunshine and informal living, this single
level 4BD/4.5BA home is an intoxicating, rambling,
happy residence that defines West Coast living and
completely erases the lines between indoor and
outdoor living — easy, elegant and unpretentious.
