Initially crafted by renowned architect Barry Berkus and later reimagined by Richard Johnson, the home is filled with abundant natural light and offers captivating ocean and mountain views. Inside, the architecture celebrates expansive volumes, highlighted by glass railings that provide an uninterrupted connection to the breathtaking outdoors. These contemporary features amplify the home's open atmosphere, allowing light and views to pour into each room. Expansive windows frame the picturesque surroundings, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow perfect for serene relaxation or elegant entertaining. Every detail of the home pays homage to timeless modern design, with spaces thoughtfully crafted to celebrate the art of architecture and the natural beauty of Santa Barbara's Riviera.
