Tucked away on a private lane just steps from Butterfly Beach and Coast Village Road, this 1950s Montecito cottage presents a rare opportunity in one of the area’s most iconic coastal settings. On the market for the first time in over 40 years, the home has been lovingly maintained by the same family and sits on just under half an acre. It’s a generous lot in a location where lifestyle and convenience come together.

The setting is hard to match. Morning walks to the beach, coffee at your favorite spot on Coast Village Road, and dinner out without ever starting the car. This is the kind of daily rhythm that makes Montecito living so desirable. With Butterfly Beach just around the corner and the Lower Village shops, cafes, and restaurants within easy reach, the home offers a uniquely accessible take on the coastal California lifestyle.

The house is simple and solid, built in the 1950s and preserved with care over the decades. It offers a clean slate. Move in, enjoy as is, or take advantage of the spacious lot to design something new. The private setting and established landscaping provide an excellent foundation for reimagining the space to suit your vision.

Whether you’re looking to renovate, rebuild, or simply enjoy a classic Montecito address, this property is a rare find in a location where opportunities like this don’t come along often.
