About 17 La Lita Ln

Offered for the first time since it was built in 1958, this original Paul Greene home is a rare architectural gem in one of Santa Barbara's most desirable neighborhoods. Set on over half an acre at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac, the property is a true time capsule of mid-century design. The light-filled layout includes a spacious sunroom that opens to the private backyard, while vintage details throughout reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era and offer the ideal canvas for thoughtful updates. Owned by the same family for over 65 years and located in the Peabody Charter School attendance area, the property is surrounded by mature trees, usable land, and a close-knit community—offering endless potential and a truly special opportunity.
