The Santa Barbara Design Home and Gardens

Clopay Reserve® Collection custom wood carriage house doors are featured on The Santa Barbara Design House and Gardens, a philanthropic showcase home project developed by actor Dennis Franz of "NYPD Blue" television series fame, and his wife, Joanie in conjunction with the Junior League of Santa Barbara.

The home will be open to the public for tours now through October 7, 2012. Proceeds support the improvement of youth literacy in Santa Barbara.

The insulated Clopay carriage house garage doors are custom built from Western Red Cedar in a grooved panel design.

The "Hamptons" style house is nestled on 1.62 acres of prime gold coast land anchored by majestic California Coastal Oak trees, some over 250 years old. The roughly 6,000 square foot, 6 bedroom, 6.5 bath shingle style estate, designed by architect Peter Becker and built by Phillip Pennestri of Pennco Properties, features a private tree-lined drive, pavilion, an outdoor gourmet kitchen, outdoor wood- burning fireplace, loggia, swimming pool, authentic bocce ball court, detached two-car garage and an exquisite two-bedroom cabana.

Joanie Franz has paired some of California’s most prominent designers and trade resources to create the perfect marriage of East Coast style and West Coast living including Ryan Brown, Linda Chase, Jaime Dietenhofer, LuLu DK & Carla Lane, Mary McDonald, David Phoenix, Ann Sutherland, Katerina Tana, Caroline and Steve Thompson, Mark Weaver, Steven Weinstock and Michelle Workman.

The home has been featured in Traditional Home, California Homes, and will appear on the BRAVO! Network series, “Million Dollar Decorators” and HGTV. Check out other articles and photos on Facebook or the show home website.
