About This Home

1988 Inverness Lane

Set within the prestigious, guard-gated community of Birnam Wood, 1988 Inverness Lane in Montecito offers a renovated mid-century modern residence designed by Robert Garland, thoughtfully updated in 2025 to reflect an elevated contemporary taste. Located on a quiet cul-de-sac between the 14th and 15th holes of the Birnam Wood Golf Course, the home enjoys sweeping views of the Santa Ynez Mountains and lush fairways. High, vaulted ceilings and expansive walls of glass create light-filled interiors with an open, airy feel, while wide plank flooring and refined modern upgrades enhance the home’s clean architectural lines. The balance of classic mid-century design and elevated finishes offers both timeless character and modern comfort. At the heart of the residence is a private courtyard and pool that connects the main living spaces and bedroom wings, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow ideal for entertaining. Fireside living and dining areas open directly to the courtyard. The expansive kitchen features marble countertops, custom cabinetry, premium appliances, and an adjacent breakfast nook overlooking the golf course — perfect for casual dining and morning coffee with a view. The layout is designed to support both everyday living and effortless hosting. The primary suite provides a private retreat with a spa-like bathroom featuring a freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass shower, and refined finishes. Guest bedrooms are thoughtfully positioned for privacy and comfort. Residents enjoy access to Birnam Wood’s private championship golf course, clubhouse dining, tennis and pickleball courts, fitness facilities, and an active social community. Ideally located minutes from Montecito’s Upper Village, beaches, and downtown Santa Barbara, this distinctive home offers architectural pedigree, resort-style amenities, and exceptional lifestyle convenience. With its mountain and golf course views, central courtyard design, and entertainer-friendly layout, 1988 Inverness Lane presents a rare opportunity to own a refined mid-century modern retreat in one of Montecito’s most sought-after communities.
