Romantic Modern Spanish

The Spanish home is a Southern California original, rooted in the early decades of the 20th century. This house looks back to the classic 1920s Los Angeles Spanish and carries it forward. Sited high on the lot, it draws a clear line between the formal rooms and the private ones. The living room and library open to a walled garden with an outdoor living area, firepit, and bocce court. The kitchen, dining area, and outdoor den take a looser posture, opening straight to the pool. Two stories over a full basement, with a pool and an accessory dwelling unit. Broad openings to the garden and pool pull the nearby beach breezes through the house.
