About this home

Rare Montecito opportunity on a secluded flag lot between San Ysidro Rd and El Bosque Rd, above E Valley Rd. This 1952 single-story ranch cottage sits on nearly half an acre (0.49 AC) beneath mature oaks, offering a classic mid-century fixer-upper ready for its next chapter. A gravel motor court welcomes you to a light-filled home with a spacious living room and brick fireplace, plus a versatile office/sun room with closet that could serve as a 2nd bedroom, and two full baths. French doors open to a patio with garden paths, planters, and an expansive back yard with mature lemon and grapefruit trees plus a storage shed. The home showcases classic Ranch-style character: a low-pitched gable roof with deep eaves, exposed rafter tails, a signature diagonal eave brace, board-and-batten siding, a and a tall brick chimney. Just seconds to Montecito Upper Village, minutes to the beach, Coast Village Rd, and top schools. Bring your vision to one of California's most coveted coastal enclaves.

About Upper

Village

Upper Village, located between San Ysidro Road and East Valley Road, is a boutique and residential Montecito neighborhood with a walkable village core and mountain-to-ocean scenery. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Upper Village crossroads of San Ysidro Road and East Valley Road, where sidewalk patios, design studios, and small galleries set a polished, low-key rhythm. Local pillars include Pierre Lafond Market & Deli, Caffe Luxxe, and the Montecito Country Mart. Spanish Revival and ranch-style homes sit behind hedges and stone walls, with palms and oaks framing curving lanes. Foothill light and coastal air shape an outdoors-forward routine, with trailheads and beaches a short drive away. The pace stays quiet after dark, with daytime café traffic and errands defining the scene.
