Inside Larry David’s newly purchased Normandy-style home in Montecito

Larry David’s new California pad is pretty, pretty, pretty good!

Closing on the deal back in October, the four-bedroom, 4.5 bathroom abode was originally designed by the highly regarded local architect George Washington Smith at the time.

The listing explained, the home was an “unusual design concept for the historically renowned Father of Spanish Colonial Revival style architecture.”

Spanning over 2,800 square-feet, features include a living room with an open beam ceiling and a fireplace, a formal dining room, and a kitchen with a butlers pantry overlooking garden views.
