A four-bedroom estate at 2934 Torito Road, which unfolds across multiple buildings, was once home to legendary actress Jane Russell, who is best known for her leading-lady roles in the 1940s and ’50s.
The property, which includes a 3,678-square-foot main residence, a one-bedroom guesthouse, and a studio apartment above the garage, delivers star-studded pedigree and midcentury modern charm in spades.

Tucked away in the Toro Canyon and Montecito fringe area, the property offers privacy and seclusion while still being minutes from beaches, equestrian and racquet facilities.
