AB design studio breathes new life into a dilapidated Montecito home.
In 2018 AB design studio purchased a weary home on Montecito's Canon View Rd. Though in desperate need of repair, we were captivated by the immense potential of the property. Within a span of 18 months we purchased, gutted, remodeled and resold this incredible property.
The property has been masterfully remodeled inside and out. The goal of the remodel was to take advantage of the expansive mountain views to the northwest and Channel Island views to the southwest, opening the brand new interiors to the exterior surroundings.
There are two structures on the site, the Main Residence and the Accessory Unit. Contemporary influences were professionally weaved into the rustic fabric of the old home. Every surface has been replaced throughout and is distinctly contemporary and approachable.
The lower level of the accessory unit consists of a two-car garage and workshop. The space above is a multi-purpose space and can be utilized for a multitude of scenarios. It’s complete with a ¾ bathroom and two sliding glass doors that open to a balcony and majestic views of the Islands and Los Padres Mountains.
