HGTV: Ultimate House Hunt
The annual 2022 HGTV Ultimate House Hunt Awards is in full swing and features four beautiful properties listed by Riskin Partners.
El Fureidis, 631 Parra Grande Drive
Homes With a History
Few properties capture the hearts and minds of visitors as El Fureidis, leaving in all an indelible memorable impression. This globally inspired noteworthy architectural achievement ─ ‘El Fureidis’ that literally translates to ‘tropical paradise’ ─ has ruled over a century of seasons in the heart of Montecito.
In addition to the timeless design of the residence, the construction of El Fureidis is equally enduring. Originally built of steel reinforced concrete, the home went through an extensive and sensitive historic restoration in order to ensure El Fureidis would be poised to thrive and shine into her second century and beyond.
