Los Angeles Mediterranean Bungalow With Classic Hacienda Appeal
With arched windows, a Spanish-style sculpted entryway and stunning landscaping that includes everything from cacti to native ornamental grasses and a towering evergreen, this home is a California classic. Grass-edged, diamond-shaped pavers offer a graceful entrance that carries from the sidewalk to the front door.
Mediterranean Exterior and Winding Walkway
A curving paver path winds under mature trees and up to the front door of this Spanish gem of a home.
Mediterranean Driveway With Pavers
The huge driveway acts as a gentle transition to the home itself. Grass-edged pavers are a pretty bit of geometry decorating the approach to the front door.
Mediterranean Front Exterior With Cactus
This Spanish-style looker perfectly suits its Los Angeles location. Its curb appeal includes beautiful arched windows and drought-tolerant landscaping. Inside, the home's nearly 3,000 square feet are equally special.
Mediterranean Villa and Arched Front Entrance
This handsome hacienda in Los Angeles encompasses nearly 3,000 square feet. It has four bedrooms, four bathrooms and, in its shady big backyard, a pool.
Mediterranean Foyer With Iron Vines
Wrought-iron vines are an enchanting detail in the foyer, creating a subtle screen between the entry and the rest of the home. An equally elegant chandelier provides unique lighting.
Mediterranean Great Room With Partial Wall
Just opposite the front door, a partial wall with a delicate wrought-iron inlay makes a lovely welcome to the rest of the home. The main living areas all flow easily into one another with a soaring ceiling helping the room look extra expansive.
Mediterranean Dining Room With Room Divider
To give the dining room a subtle sense of separation from the foyer, architects planned a pretty built-in screen. A white frame encloses delicate metal climbing vines.
Mediterranean Living Room With Orange Rug
Chocolate brown wood beams and hardwood floors give the living room crisp definition. The rest of the space is airy and light in comparison. Sunlight streams in through big windows, including one beautiful arched one.
Mediterranean Living Room With Blue Tile Fireplace
The huge living room is grand and stately with high ceilings finished with dark wood beams. A beautiful tiled fireplace immediately draws the eye and is the starting point for the room's fun layers of pattern and color.
Gray Sitting Room With Desk
Southwestern patterns bring color and texture to this open sitting room. A desk in front of a window is a lovely spot to catch up on work.
Mediterranean Great Room With Red Stools
The kitchen joins up with the living area in a space that's destined to entertain. The room feels impossibly huge thanks to ceilings that soar up like a cathedral's. Glass doors lead out to a shaded outdoor dining area.
Mediterranean Living Room With Red Rug
The high, vaulted ceiling in the living room is topped with handsome wood beams; clerestory windows bring in extra light.
Transitional Open Plan Kitchen With Beams
The open plan kitchen feels bigger because of the great room's sky high-ceiling. Guests can pull up a barstool on the other side of the peninsula.
Transitional Open Plan Kitchen With Pink Rug
The kitchen was designed with entertaining in mind, and has high-end appliances and plenty of room to move around in. A rug in a cheerful color softens the look of the whole space.
Open Plan Kitchen With Red Barstools
Fun touches of color are sprinkled throughout the rooms. Here, in the kitchen, they include the peninsula's pretty turquoise and the barstools' pop of red.
Stainless Steel Refrigerator and Stairs
A smart bit of planning puts the refrigerator right at the intersection of the kitchen and the stairs, maximizing the kitchen's square footage while also connecting it gracefully to the home's other living areas.
Bohemian Bedroom With Orange Rug
The home's four large bedrooms are escapes indeed with lots of natural light, hardwood floors and, in the case of this one, easy outdoor access.
Gray Bohemian Bedroom With Leather Chair
A tall dresser in the corner of this large bedroom (one of the home's four) softens the room's boxy shape. A leather bench and armchair pick up the wood's warm tones.
Spa Bathroom With Weathered Blue Vanity
To tie this bathroom in with the rest of the home's Mediterranean look, designers went with a blue vanity, weathered like a favorite pair of jeans.
Neutral Spa Bathroom With Pebbled Floor
This luxe bathroom recreates the spa-like experience with pebbled floors, a huge soaking tub, walk-in shower and an earth-toned palette.
Transitional Sitting Area With Two Baskets
The 400-square-foot finished basement offers up more room to hang out, either in a kick-back-and-watch-a-movie sort of way, or in a let's-play-some-games way.
Brown Bathroom With Red Towels
This bathroom (there are four in all) continues the home's stately Mediterranean mood with a shower backsplash of handsome brown stone brick.
White Bathroom With Red Fringed Rug
Textured tile dresses up this fresh white bathroom. The home has four bathrooms in all, three of them connected to bedrooms as a suite.
Outdoor Dining Area With Green Chairs›
Double doors slide open to join the great room with this inviting patio. The kitchen is an easy stroll away and outdoor diners are treated to views of the pretty backyard and pool.
Backyard With Wood Pergola
Shuttle drinks and dinner to the outdoor dining room. A simple pergola provides the shade. More shade comes from the backyard's majestic oaks.
Backyard With Pool and Hammock
The backyard beckons with a heated infinity pool and a dining area in a pergola's dappled shade.
Backyard With Wood Lounge Chairs
Chill by the pool while the kids play in the playhouse. And when the sun dips, there's an outdoor fireplace nearby.
Backyard With Playhouse
Imaginations and energy can run wild in the backyard with its big lawn and playhouse on stilts.
