HOT PROPERTY
Last week’s sales: A rare loss in the Hedgerow; 1920s garage and chauffeur’s cottage designed by George Washington Smith; Hope Ranch spec reno; midcentury houses in San Roque and the Mesa for well over ask; newly renovated on the edge of Montecito; former carriage house (and now a hot potato); Lower Riviera Craftsman; and more. See what sold—and for how much.
