777 N Ontare Road

Hidden at the end of a private lane in San Roque, 777 N Ontare is a fully permitted, ground-up transformation of a mid-century classic into a sophisticated expression of California contemporary living. Set on over half an acre of lush, park-like grounds and surrounded by mature trees, this rare property offers total privacy in one of Santa Barbara's most established neighborhoods.
Originally designed by noted architect Paul Greene, the home has been completely reimagined and rebuilt by the renowned team at Matic Design & Build -- not just remodeled, but fully reconstructed with all-new systems, including a new roof, sewer lateral, HVAC, electrical, plumbing, windows, landscaping, and hardscape. The result is a fresh, modern layout ideal for today's lifestyle: all bedrooms are en suite, thoughtfully positioned for privacy, and generously sized  with the primary suite featuring a stunning walk-in closet that includes a second laundry area.
The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen areas are centered around a striking double-sided fireplace, surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass and bi-fold doors that open to a serene, landscaped yard. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece with custom walnut cabinetry, LED-lit glass panels, a real marble waterfall island and backsplash, and a full suite of Miele appliances including double ovens.
The primary suite is tucked into its own private wing with bi-fold doors to a tranquil deck, a spa-worthy bathroom with dual rain shower heads, soaking tub, and double vanity, and that custom walnut-and-glass walk-in closet with in-closet laundry.
The junior suite features vaulted ceilings and its own private deck; the third bedroom enjoys a private sitting area under a grand tree. There's also a stylish home office and guest powder room.
The backyard is an entertainer's dream  with two expansive decks, a built-in BBQ with bar seating, a vintage outdoor fireplace, and a large lawn under the trees.
This is not just a remodel  it's a complete reinvention of a Santa Barbara classic, where timeless design, modern systems, and thoughtful layout come together in a private, peaceful, and highly functional retreat.
