Ben Lee Represents the Seller of 2907 Beverwil Drive
And it just sold! 2907 Beverwil Drive. It was offered at $1,795,000.
This warm and inviting 3 bedroom/3 bath family home has recently been fully remodeled and offers a perfect architectural blend of minimalist modernity meshed with whimsical fantasy. No detail was spared in its recent renovation, resulting in an impeccably designed and thoughtfully created environment that makes the most intelligent use of space. Step over the threshold and be impressed by the clean lines, impossibly high ceilings and an abundance of skylights and windows that bask the entire first floor in beautiful, natural sunlight. An open floor plan allows for effortless flow and Zen-like calm in between the den, formal living room, dining room and chef’s kitchen. In the kitchen you’ll find chic, state-of-the art stainless steel appliances buffeted by all custom cabinetry that provides a vast amount of storage. This level also includes the Powder room and two bedrooms shared by a Jack and Jill bathroom. Big glass doors open from the living room to the outdoors which is more reminiscent of a tropical Balinese paradise than a typical Los Angeles backyard. Wholly private and completely surrounded by lush greenery, there is a cozy fire pit and hot tub tucked below a terraced hillside that offers an al fresco dining space nestled within the trees as well as a tranquil meditation alcove built into the natural landscape. The upper level of this home offers the Master Bedroom suite complete with picturesque views, attached bathroom with dual sinks in the vanity, oversized sunken tub, shower with multiple shower heads and an enormous walk-in closet. With a recently installed infrastructure that includes brand new plumbing, electrical, sewer and roof, this impressive and beautiful home in the award winning Castle Heights Elementary School District will most certainly not be on the market for long.
Looking for Just the Right Color Scheme for Your Home?
Check Out this Santa Barbara Artist’s Eye-Catching Creation
Deciding on just the right color scheme for a new or existing home can be somewhat overwhelming. There are literally more than 50 shades of white. So, how do you narrow it down to just one?
The answer is – you don’t have to!
At least, not according to a Santa Barbara artist who didn’t want to leave anything out when renovating her former 1970s home.
Going with an idea that she’s been harboring for forty years – ever since a trip to the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico – Jane Gottlieb noticed that most of the homes there were brightly colored.
Immediately after her return to California, she decided to paint her then-current home with a wide array of shades. And, she has been doing so ever since, even though some of her friends initially laughed.
Gottlieb says that the bright, happy colors “make everything feel better.” The home she shares with her husband today is perched in the Santa Barbara hills, and it offers a view of the ocean. Originally beige and brown when the couple purchased it, the artist has completely transformed its look – both inside and out.
While she loves how the home stands out amongst the surrounding trees, she admits that it is necessary to repaint periodically, in order to keep things bright. You can check out her current color creation here.

Go Yankees!
Our middle son Spencer was recently accepted to the Academy of Music & Performing Arts at Hamilton High School. Exciting news, however, not an easy decision because he is still happy at his current school, the Geffen Academy at UCLA. His love of the arts ultimately won out and Spencer decided to give AMPA a try, much to the delight of his grandfather (Hamilton High Class of 1953). The following is a note from my father-in-law to Spencer, reprinted with their permission. Go Yankees!
