The amazing abode you can see in the picture represents the end result of a massive 2006 restoration project. The Les Chenes residence is now a pinnacle of sophistication and comfort, featuring state-of-the-art facilities and unique decor elements as well as multiple original design cues that were found in the layout of the initial home from 1934.
Placed on a 2.1 acre lot, the house boasts 10,000 square feet of living space that include 6 bedrooms as well as 6 full bathrooms and 3 half bathrooms. This French Regency Estate was designed mostly by a company named Lutah Riggs Architect, whose owner received the title of “Woman of the year” from the Los Angeles Times in 1967.
Representing a symbol for the “Santa Barbara Lifestyle”, the house appears to have been built to serve the pretentious needs of a king, flaunting nothing short of regal decor elements and furnishings as well as modern amenities and facilities. The surrounding outdoors is just as impressive, boasting beautifully trimmed gardens as well as a large swimming pool. The entire estate is worth nothing short of $16,7 million, but we can clearly understand why.
