Ellen DeGeneres has made many real estate moves in and around Montecito over the years; to say the celebrity is real estate active is an understatement. So, every now and then, buyers with deep pockets looking in the swanky L.A. area (where figures like Prince Harry, Oprah, and Jennifer Aniston reportedly own homes) may stumble upon a property DeGeneres used to own.
For anyone with this goal in mind, a property the seasoned talk show host once held is new on the market seeking $17.6 million. Built in 1987, the 6,512-square-foot haven occupies a prime lot on a hillside to present optimal ocean and mountain vistas. Inside, the views are pretty sweet, too. Remnants of 1980s style are few and far between as the bright pad has been completely redesigned and modernized. Becker Studios executed its transformation to give the home that high-end yet ariy and livable feel buyers crave these days.
There’s nothing stuffy about the spaces though they are undeniably luxe. A mix of light wood, white walls, and black accents with the windows and hardware create a crisp, fresh atmosphere that is totally on-trend. This is a listing for those wanting the most in-vogue, “now” interiors versus a timeless or antique aesthetic.
As for the property’s stats, there are tons to rattle off: Five bedrooms, seven bathrooms, a chef’s kitchen, a large pool and cabana, a regulation-size pickleball court, a detached one-bedroom guesthouse, etc. Moments from Toro Canyon Park, however, the refined residence may call out to an avid hiker most.
Marsha Kotlyar Estate Group of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties represents the listing.
