This classic, understated theme serves as the perfect
backdrop for intricate tile, wrought-iron and window details.
Above the fireplace and along the staircase, muted hues of
blue, green, red, and neutral tiles create eye-catching patterns.
Stained glass wine-bottle windows tucked into corners and
the staircase landing make a subtle statement with their
circular, burnt-orange design.
The open floor plan of the ground floor features multiple
common living areas, including a formal dining room and
both a family room and formal living room. With fireplaces in
both the living room and family room, the home invites you to
settle in and stay awhile. The master suite, which also has its
own fireplace for cozy nights in, echoes this theme.
You'll also find a library in the front of the home with
a sliding barn door and a breakfast room adjacent to the
gourmet chef's kitchen. Complete with an island and both
walk-in and butler's pantries, the appliances are state-of-the-
art and perfectly suited to making both simple breakfasts to
enjoy in the adjoining nook or feasts worthy of the stately
dining room. Whether amateur or aficionado, cooks of all
classification will enjoy the 60-inch Wolf range, Thermador
ovens, two dishwashers and double Sub-Zero refrigerators.
In the basement, there's room for a wine cellar to store the
perfect vintages to pair at dinner parties, or just sip on a quiet
night in front of one of the many fireplaces.
Located on the second floor, the master suite features a
plethora of luxurious amenities including a fireplace above
the soaking tub and a walk-in closet beautifully outfitted with
dark wood cabinetry, to name a few. The private balcony also
features direct mountain and city views. "The amazing views
of downtown L.A. at night are just a great way to finish a long
day," says Wells. For guests or residents not lucky enough to
land the master suite, the remaining three-bedroom suites on
the second floor feature walk-in closets of their own.
Seeking to create a sense of home and an authentic
Spanish ambiance, Wells, who has traveled to South America
for work, collaborated closely with De Moraes, who hails
from Brazil—experiences from which they drew to create a
one-of-a-kind home. "There really is no other home in all of
Manhattan Beach that uniquely captures the essence of a true
Spanish/Mediterranean home as this one does," shares Wells.
De Moraes agrees: "This project is a perfect example of when
everything comes together [with] form and function! A great
family house perfect for entertaining."
