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."
