Home of the Week: A Midcentury spread in Santa Barbara

Every year, Santa Barbara lures Angelenos up the coast with the promise of quiet neighborhoods, sprawling properties and sweeping ocean views. This Midcentury spread perched on an acre in the hills of the Riviera offers all three. Built in the 1960s, the scenic estate includes a post-and-beam main house and guesthouse surrounded by outdoor features including a swimming pool, putting green and fire pit.

Starting in early February, Home of the Week will no longer be produced as a weekly feature by Times journalists. However, we’re still on the hunt for distinctive listings across Southern California — homes with great bones, interesting backstories or other unique elements that set them apart. To submit a property, send high-resolution color photos via Dropbox.com, permission from the photographer to publish the images and a description of the house to jack.flemming@latimes.com.
