It List - March 2017

 

It's been a busy month at Realogics Sotheby's International Realty! This past weekend, our newest office, located in the heart of Madison Park, opened to the public. Park House is a stunning boutique showroom designed to be more than a full service real estate firm and was imagined as a space where the community can come together for featured lifestyle events. If you are in the area, I urge you to stop by and say hello! I would love to show you around.

Romantic Village in Santa Barbara  Perched on a crest with views of the ocean, harbor, and mountains, the secluded estate was designed and built in the 1930s by celebrated architect Wallace Frost. After living in Italy, Frost created the two-story, 10,500-square-foot residence for himself, emulating the classical style of 17th-century Italian villas and creating an air of Old World romance and refinement. Impeccable attention was paid to every detail: a classic barrel-tiled roof, terra-cotta surfaces, wide wood flooring planks, rustic exposed ceiling beams, 18th-century Italian tiles, vintage light fixtures, and sturdy walls of locally quarried stone. Offered at $45,000,000.
