house hunter

by Jeff Miller

et’s say you’ve got $2.4 million smoldering in your wallet and you’re craving a nest in Santa Barbara. Ah, here’s one: three bedrooms, two baths, on a mountain overlooking the city. Nice. Just sign on the dotted …

Wait! For that same money, you could buy Johnsonville, Connecticut— Connecticut not just a house there — the whole village. The deal comes with some empty houses (it’s a ghost town), a covered bridge, a wooden dam, and a waterfall. The old mill village drew a high bid of $1.9 million a year ago, but the sale fell through. Now it’s back on the market for $2.4 million.

Hmm, tough one. In Johnsonville, you could possibly stroll around your village, going all feudal with your vassals, and then demand a nice lunch by your waterfall.

In Santa Barbara, people are nice but not serf nice.

Well, $2.4 million also happens to be the median price for a home in Santa Barbara, according to PropertyShark’s annual list. That puts our city 12th on the list. The number one zip code is, once again, in the heart of The Hamptons: Sagaponack, Long Island, New York, with a median price tag of $5.125 million.

While researching the most expensive zip codes in the country, I also stumbled upon a Wall Street Journal story about Dennis Franz and his real-estate-developer wife, Joanie Franz, buying a house in Montecito in 2010 for $2.15 million. It caught my eye because of the link between Santa Barbara and The Hamptons. The story was headlined “A Hamptons-Style Home in California,” and photos do reveal that it’s Hamptonic.

First of all, I’m a big Dennis Franz fan.

Among other things, he played Detective Andy Sipowicz on the fabulous NYPD Blue, one of the greatest pairings since pastrami on rye. Also, he’s originally from the Midwest (Illinois) like me (Ohio). And, for a price tag under the current median, he bought a Hamptons-style house, with the porch and everything, instead of a castle.

(Yes, it was post-crash 2010, but still.)

Incidentally, Dennis recently gave a rare interview to the New York Post and said he has no qualms about stepping away from the limelight after 12 seasons (and four Emmys) on NYPD Blue. “I just wanted to live an enjoyable, irresponsible, spendtime-with-my-family kind of life. I haven’t regretted one minute of it. I’m pretty good

Johnsonville, Connecticut

at doing nothing.” You gotta love Dennis Franz. And he’s a Santa Barbaran!

As it happens, before we moved to Santa Barbara, we lived in an UnHampton not too far from Sagaponack. House prices

weren’t as crazy, but they weren’t exactly cheap. Now we’re house hunting in Santa Barbara with a terrific realtor who’s working hard, but it’s a challenge since we’re apparently not the only people who want to live in paradise. In other words, we’ve jumped from the real estate frying pan into the fire.

Here, fittingly, was one of the first comments I heard on this situation, and it came in an email from none other than The Santa Barbara Independent’ Independent’s own Nick Welsh. “What made you move out here?” he asked. “An irresistible urge to feed the real estate beast?” n That was not it.

make myself at home

a hacienda. When I step into the living room, I notice the super-high ceiling and huge window perfectly complement the relatively small room with its built-in shelves and nooks. A distinctive stairway beckons up one side of the room, with artfully arranged Saltillo tile steps echoed by a cutout stair-step wall and paired with a playful, curved iron handrail leading upstairs.

Built in 2009, the house has three bedrooms and three and a half baths, a gourmet kitchen, a study, and a workout room.

Outside there is a bocce-ball court, a great courtyard with a fountain and a wood fireplace, and plenty of patio space to enjoy the beautiful yard designed by renowned area landscape architect Isabelle Greene.

Inside and out, so many thoughtful elements, from the fixtures to the finishes, invite one to pause and appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry.

This house is comfortable in its own skin. It invites you to smile at its details and relax awhile in its cozy corners and sunny spaces. The new owner of this house should be prepared for fun because this house is ready to have fun for years to come. And should you find yourself out of half-and-half, they’ll likely laugh with you —not at you—when you run into CVS in your pj’s.

145 Olive Mill Lane is currently for sale in Montecito, listed by Gayle Lofthus of Village Properties Realtors.

home feels comfortable. It’s a beautiful adult clubhouse with fun details galore, and it’s walking distance to Montecito Café, Los Arroyos, and CVS on Coast Village Road. I loved this house before I even got inside the front gate. The multicolored bougainvillea curled and clamored over the curved exterior wall. The address numbers gleamed from behind an iron placard, reminding me of abalone shining in the morning sun. The custom lantern hanging near the rounded front gate gave me pause, but once I walked through the entryway, I recognized my surroundings and knew I was in for a one-of-a-kind treat.

This house was designed by area architect Jeff Shelton. Everyone knows his distinctive, whimsical works in Santa Barbara, so I recognized his trademark style right away. But I had never before been to one of his private residences. This one is special. I’m no architectural expert; I just go by what feels good. This home feels livable, likable, and fun.

As I walk toward the front door, the curved archways remind me of an Italian farmhouse or stable. Through the archway is a long, breezy hallway reminiscent of

’ve always been more of a jeans and flipflops person than a ball-gown and highheels person. As a parent, I always let my kids get sandy at the beach and muddy on hikes. If something wasn’t washable, it didn’t belong in our house. So the houses I’ve lived in have always felt … lived in.

We had chickens in downtown Santa Barbara at a craftsman we called The Clubhouse, and we had an overgrown, fenceless adobe on the Mesa that allowed the kids to explore to their hearts’ content.

So you may not be surprised to hear that I’ve never been much for Montecito.

Sorry, realtor friends, but it’s true. Montecito has always felt a little too manicured and snobby for me. I like to know my neighbors and be able to walk into the market in my pj’s when I run low on half-and-half.

Well, my Montecito attitude changed last week when I visited 145 Olive Mill Lane. It’s neither rustic nor casual, but this

Green your crib

Going electric in the Kitchen

M

ost of you are probably too young to remember the “Gold Medallion” homes of the 1960s. These modern, state-of-the-art, all-electric homes were promoted as the best and cleanest homes on the market. Within a few years, as electricity costs increased, they became the Edsels of the housing market. However, I have come to believe that after a 50-year hiatus, all-electric homes are once again going to be the future. The reasons are quite different: Combined with solargenerated electricity, either on- or off-site,

OPEN HOUSES

moderately hot, making for a safer cooking environment and easier cleanup — basically, no more burned fingers, no more baked-on spills, and less risk for children.

One concern I had was possible radiation exposure, but after looking at the scientific literature, mostly European studies, I became convinced that there are no radiation-associated hazards. On the plus side, indoor air quality is significantly better than with gas stoves. There aren’t any incompletely combusted residual gases that accompany all gas units, a definite health hazard.

In the past, higher prices were a drawback, but in recent years, prices have come down to be competitive with gas ranges.

Until five years ago, I thought I would never cook on anything but a gas range.

None of the other options offered the control and power of a gas flame. Now,

such homes can free us from fossil-fuel use.

The Energy Star label, a federal program that rates the energy efficiency of appliances, enables shoppers to knowingly purchase appliances that use the least energy to operate. Created in 1992, the program now covers 40,000 products and saves more than $24 billion (2012) in energy costs annually.

One energy-efficient electrical appliance that has been widely embraced in Europe and Asia is the magnetic-induction cooktop. Because it directly heats a pan using magnetic fields, an induction unit can provide great power, instant adjustability, excellent thermal efficiency, and precise control—equal to or better than gas or electric resistance cookers.

The energy efficiency of induction coils is approximately double that of gas burners—roughly 80 percent of the energy in the electricity gets used for cooking compared to 40 percent of the energy in gas.

Since the pot is heated directly, the cooking surface, usually a glass ceramic sheet, doesn’t get warm except directly under the pot. Even there it gets only
