One of the highlights of this edition of The Home Page is the sale of Judy Garland’s former home in Bel Air. Built in 1938 by architect Wallace Neff, this grand estate exudes classic 1930s charm both inside and out. The property recently sold for a whopping $11 million, preserving its historic significance for years to come. For those curious to see more of this iconic home, photos and a video can be viewed on the newsletter’s website.
Another celebrity home featured in this edition is Marilyn Monroe’s former residence in Brentwood. This Santa Barbara-style house, with four bedrooms and three baths, was purchased by Monroe in 1962, just months before her tragic passing. The property, set on a gated half-acre, was designated a historic-cultural monument by the City of Los Angeles, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
Moving closer to home, The Home Page showcases properties with stunning views that are currently on the market. From a Mediterranean home on Jimeno Road with panoramic vistas to a breathtaking property on Lucinda Lane overlooking the Mission, these listings offer a glimpse into the beauty of Santa Barbara real estate. Additionally, the mid-century modern home at 1080 Oakside Way, with floor-to-ceiling windows and mountain views, is a luxurious retreat perfect for those seeking a serene living space.
In addition to these featured properties, The Home Page also includes a plethora of open house listings for readers to explore. Whether you’re in the market for a new home or simply enjoy browsing real estate offerings, this newsletter provides a comprehensive guide to the latest listings in the area. With a mix of news, arts, and events, The Home Page is a must-read for anyone interested in the vibrant real estate scene in Santa Barbara.
As the newsletter comes to a close, Sarah Sinclair reflects on the importance of home, drawing inspiration from the classic film “The Wizard of Oz.” Just like Dorothy’s journey back home, finding the perfect place to call your own is a special and meaningful experience. Whether you’re out visiting open houses or enjoying a cozy evening at home, The Home Page reminds us that there truly is no place like home.
