About 1124 Montecito Drive
Welcome to this fully renovated 1964 Cliff Home in Montecito Heights — a rare opportunity to own one of only 23 remaining residences from this iconic mid-century development. Originally designed by visionary architects Richard Kearney and John Lawrence Pugsley, these homes were built to defy convention, perched dramatically on steel cantilevers that soar above the canyon. Their bold architectural vision delivers sweeping views and a timeless connection between structure and landscape.
This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home has been thoughtfully reimagined to celebrate its original design while offering the modern comforts today’s buyers seek. Interiors have been curated to highlight its architectural legacy, with design-forward touches that enhance its timeless lines and layout. Updates include a fully remodeled kitchen and bathrooms, waterproof laminate flooring throughout, recessed lighting, energy-efficient windows, new doors, and fresh interior and exterior paint.
Enjoy an open floor plan ideal for entertaining, with a large central island in the kitchen that flows effortlessly into the living space. A new bifolding door invites the outdoors in, opening to a balcony with stunning canyon and city views. The downstairs bonus room adds flexibility — perfect for a home office, studio, or guest space. And just outside, the fenced backyard offers a safe, spacious retreat — ideal for your furry friends to run, roam, and rule the hillside while you soak in the views or take a break from the workday.
Additional upgrades include a paid-off 34-panel solar system, EV charger, and a drip irrigation system with timers for easy outdoor maintenance. Located just minutes from DTLA, Highland Park, and Debs Park, this home offers privacy, architectural pedigree, and modern livability in one of LA’s most historically rich hillside communities.
