Traditional design done well can give an estate instant gravitas. And that’s what this newly built home in Montecito has.
The two-story has a timeless elegance that makes it looks as though it is truly rooted in the Southern California coastal enclave, which evolved over more than a century from a popular spot for wealthy Easterners seeking winter homes to the celebrity-populated community it is today.
