Property description for 1588 E Valley Rd, Montecito, CA 93108

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.
