A
well-built custom entryway is more than meets the eye. Sure, it serves to welcome guests and introduce the personality of the home with design symmetry, warm lighting, and perhaps a carefully manicured apron of landscaping. But beyond making a statement and a lasting first impression, a practical entryway ought to serve the comings and goings of family and visitors, including those with mobility challenges. That’s when architectural lines, color finishes, and a welcoming front door go hand-in-hand with easy access. Here’s a handful of our favorite entryways, with a brief backstory on the Giffin & Crane project.
by Keith Hamm
SANTA BARBARA MEETS TAOS: This complete transformation, headed up by architect Hugh Twibell, stripped down the existing hodgepodge home to its barest bones before resurrecting it with the soft corners and earthy tones of distinct Southwest stylings. On the ground floor, the owners expanded the attached garage and added two guest bedrooms and a bathroom. Upstairs, an all-new master suite opens to an airy kitchen and living/dining area, with a big balcony to an ocean view.
MONTECITO RENOVATION: After forming a symbiotic relationship with Giffin & Crane during a successful kitchen remodel, the owners of this four-bedroom, six-bathroom single-family home decided to move forward with an upgrade of the detached guest cottage and, finally, a down-to-the-studs renovation of the main house, with new landscaping by Gregg Toland. As part of a design-build team with the principal builders and architect Tom Meaney, the clients could confidently adjust their ideas according to site constraints and budget. Ultimately, the new floor plan transformed the old disjointed layout into a flowing space with sophisticated architectural lines and an appreciation of necessary comforts for a growing family.

AMERICAN COLONIAL REVIVAL: Highlights of this transformative remodel include a distinct and welcoming front porch and all-new entryway that represents an architectural solution to the homeowners’ desire to depart from original ranch appearances without major structural changes. The new look appeals to the homeowners’ East Coast sensibilities, as well, while maintaining true California themes, also captured in garden and outdoor living spaces. The project’s architecture was by Harrison Design, with interiors by Fran Wolfe and landscaping by Katie O’Reilly Rogers.
HILLSIDE MEDITERRANEAN: Staying within budget and the home’s original footprint, designers — including lead architect Anthony Spann of Harrison Design — and builders transformed compartmentalized interior spaces into an open layout connecting the kitchen to living and dining areas. The resulting floor plan succeeded in providing the new owners with the desired California feel without compromising the building’s structural integrity. Outside, a new staircase connects the home to the pool, and 360-degree views take in the mountains and the sea.
Giffin & Crane General Contractors, Inc. has been building custom homes in Santa Barbara since 1986.

What Is Going On? Q: I read your column a couple of weeks ago (“How Do I Get My Offer Accepted?”), and I’m not sure I agree with what you said. You implied we are in a mature seller’s market and price increases have slowed down with fewer offers. I find the opposite to be true. I keep making offers and getting outbid. Every property I look at sells quickly and over the asking price. What’s going on?

A: I agree with you. At the time I wrote the article, it
did seem that the dramatic price increases were losing steam and Real Estate Q&A fewer homes were closing for shocking amounts over the asking price. That slowing trend seems to have been temporary. Houses are coming on the market and closing at an even faster rate. This is true across all properties, from the $650,000 one-bedroom condos to the $15,000,000 mansions. All properties are selling for at least by Marsha Gray 10 percent over the list price, and many for much more. Let’s say a home comes on the market on a Monday. During this initial week, the listing agent holds the home open as much as possible. The agent announces that all offers will be reviewed the next week on Tuesday at 5 p.m. However, there will be a caveat that if a compelling offer is presented before the stated offer date, the seller reserves the right to accept that offer. They may accept a preemp-
tive offer before your offer is even seen. Yikes! So what is going on? It’s a confluence of many factors. While all real estate is local — Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Carpinteria values have accelerated much faster than Ventura County — the market is still affected by events outside of Santa Barbara. Globally, we have rapid inflation. People want to seek a safe haven for their cash, and real estate is that safe haven. They receive the dual advantage of a Santa Barbara home and the perception their money will be safe and even grow. A plus side to Santa Barbara is our mild weather. People from areas with more extreme weather are thrilled to save thousands of dollars on their heating and air-conditioning bills. Santa Barbara agents call this weather price bump the “weather tax.” Some experts believed that our constant wildfires would discourage people from moving here. Apparently, living here is worth the risk. The inventory of houses is extremely low. This is true all over the country, and it’s especially true in California. The global pandemic slowed down an already depleted local market. Demand is high, and we desperately need new housing to be built in California. Higher interest rates are here, and they’ll continue to go up. This should soften
demand. Price increases and multiple offers will slow down but not go away. Our country’s economic growth is still strong, and Santa Barbara will always have its weather tax. I understand your frustration. Your idea of what you want in a home has gone from “must have” to “good enough” to “not too terrible.” I encourage you to be aggressive with your offers because for now, it looks like houses will continue to sell quickly and high.
