A NOTABLE ARRIVAL

A home’s first impression is never just the front door. It begins long before you step inside. The gentle curve of a drive, the quiet pause beneath a stone archway, the way natural light draws you through the entry and into the heart of the home. These early moments set the tone, shaping the architecture, the flow of the interiors, and the feeling that lingers long after you leave.

1620 WESTERLY ROAD, SANTA YNEZ

Arrival at Westerly is designed to slow the senses. Beyond the gates, a long, winding drive unfolds gradually, allowing the landscape to take the lead. By the time the residence comes into view, the pace has shifted and the outside world feels distant.

Iron doors open to a soaring interior courtyard, where 40-foot ceilings, arched openings, and old-world craftsmanship define the first impression. Natural light moves through the space with ease, highlighting the scale and architectural integrity that anchor the home. It is a beginning that feels intentional, refined, and deeply rooted in its surroundings.

A striking pivot door opens into a double-height living space where volume, light, and tailored finishes command attention. Sculptural lighting, expansive glass, and soft, neutral textures create an interior that feels polished and inviting, setting the tone for effortless luxury and refined modern living.

 

1196 E MOUNTAIN DRIVE, MONTECITO

A winding drive climbs through mature landscaping before opening to a gracious motor court, where classic architecture and hillside serenity set the tone. Arched forms, white walls, and a substantial wood front door create an arrival that feels timeless and welcoming. Inside, soaring beam-lined ceilings, wide-plank hardwood floors, and dramatic French doors frame a first interior moment filled with light and volume. The transition from exterior to interior feels seamless, balancing quiet elegance with a palpable sense of scale.

 

526 CROCKER SPERRY DRIVE

Set behind gates within Birnam Wood, a quiet front courtyard unfolds with palms, sculptural landscaping, and a sparkling pool that immediately signals a sense of calm. Clean mid-century lines and expansive glass establish a composed, architectural arrival, where the home feels both grounded and open to its surroundings. Stepping inside, sunlit interiors, warm finishes, and walls of glass create a first interior moment that feels effortless and inviting. The transition from courtyard to living space is seamless—an entrance defined by simplicity, light, and understated sophistication.
