This architectural jewel, built in 1927, is a fine example of the Spanish Colonial Revival Style. Inspired by rich, elaborate precedents in Spain and Latin America, the revival was born in California and popular in the 1920’s and early ’30’s. This distinguished 5,600-sq.-ft. home was extensively renovated in 2005 with exceptional attention to detail and purity of style. The remodel updated systems, provided additional living space, and enhanced the house with antique architectural elements. The home sits on a desirable double lot in Broadmoor. A series of courtyards with water features provide tranquil settings ideal for outdoor living and entertaining. A wall lined with a profusion of roses encloses a level front lawn. A walkway leads to an entry courtyard with a tile fountain and limestone patio. The house has stucco exterior walls and a red barrel tile roof. High arched mahogany doors with antique hardware open to a double-height entry hall where round arch windows with leaded glass look out on the entry courtyard. Ceiling beams here and in other areas of the house were reclaimed from a 15th century Spanish monastery. Floors are terra cotta with tile inserts.
