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.
