Alta Lucida is located in the quiet and friendly Montecito Heights neighborhood, offering a peaceful setting with exceptional hillside and city views. The property is a three-level modern home owned by a fashion stylist, designed in a bold, colorful pop-art maximalist style that is highly visual and camera-ready.
The main entrance is located at the top level of the home. From there, a staircase leads down to a dramatic living room featuring approximately 14-foot ceilings and a large skylight above, allowing natural light to pour in throughout the day. The space offers consistent ambient daylight, making it ideal for lifestyle, editorial, fashion, and commercial shoots that benefit from soft, even lighting.
The adjacent dining area features 180-degree floor-to-ceiling windows with unobstructed views, creating a bright and expansive setting. Due to the home’s orientation and abundant natural light throughout the day, the space works best for productions that do not require complete blackout or precise artificial light control. Shoots requiring full darkness may need additional flags or light control equipment.
Just outside the living room, a balcony offers stunning hillside and city views, ideal for exterior shots. This level also features a vibrant, highly photogenic art wall adorned with unique statement art pieces. A separate study on the same floor can be used as an additional shooting area or as a dedicated production setup space.
The lower level features a primary bedroom suite with scenic views, a private balcony, and an outdoor deck. The deck has a separate exterior entrance, providing convenient access for production use.
The property also features an outdoor deck with a separate exterior entrance. The deck is surrounded by mature trees, allowing productions to step directly into a natural environment while still enjoying beautiful scenic views. This area is well suited for nature-forward, intimate, or atmospheric outdoor shoots. Please be advised that the outdoor deck is currently in a transitional condition and has not been structurally reinforced. Guests choose to access and use the deck at their own discretion.
The property includes two free on-site parking spaces, with ample free street parking available nearby, provided neighboring driveways remain unobstructed.
Alta Lucida is a truly one-of-a-kind location, offering dramatic architecture, bold design, abundant natural light, and breathtaking views—ideal for productions seeking a distinctive, high-impact visual environment.
