About this home
Lush Mid Century Modern, this 1.36-acre private Montecito compound feels like a secluded retreat. Once home to Hollywood legend Jane Russell, the 3,678± sq ft main residence has been beautifully renovated with a timeless mid-century modern sensibility—open, sun-filled spaces that flow easily to the outdoors. The property lives like a small estate, with a sparkling pool and spa, outdoor sports court, pool house, and a creek meandering through the grounds. A separate 1-bedroom guest house (approx. 1,000± sq ft) and a studio apartment above the two-car garage offer flexibility for guests, extended family, or creative workspaces. Just minutes from Summerland, Padaro Beach, and Loon Beach, and close to Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club.
