About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome to this stunning, Mediterranean Moorish Beach Villa exuding an aura of romance, old world design flourishes and exquisite craftsmanship of the Spanish Revival architecture. This “one of a kind” home was designed by the iconic architect Joseph H. Roberts. Built in 1927, the approx 3,158 square foot property (inclusive of a “casita”) sits on a sprawling grassy knoll, blending historic charm with modern sensibilities and located just one block from the beach! The two story house (approx 2,598 square feet) boasts a warm and inviting living room, and an elegant dining room that opens onto a terrace for al dente dining and a spacious chefs kitchen. Each room reflects an array of Andalusian details bearing the hallmarks of the Spanish Revival architecture. Features include original hardwood floors, walnut doors, coved ceilings, double-crown moldings, archways, wrought iron grills and railing, custom built-ins, exquisite glazed Portuguese tiles, French doors and windows, and terracotta-tiled roofing. A dramatic staircase leads to three bedrooms including a primary retreat with ensuite bath and an adjacent sitting room and balcony access that overlooks the enchanting rear gardens. Two additional bedrooms and a tastefully remodeled bathroom make this home ideally suited for enjoying comfort and sanctuary. The gourmet kitchen includes a large central island, custom walnut cabinetry with granite counter tops, accented by glazed Portuguese tiles and rustic terracotta tiled flooring, stainless appliances and a SUB ZERO refrigerator. French doors open to a backyard oasis providing an outdoor kitchen and area for dining and lounge seating. The surrounding garden is a magical setting for entertaining with its lush landscaping and a secluded “casita”nestled above the 2 car garage. Other features include a finished basement with laundry facilities, sink, refrigerator, abundant storage and walk-in closets. The “casita," as part of the duplex (approx 660 square feet) is ideal for weekend guests, or residential income potential. It offers A/C & heat, tankless water heater, one bed and full bath, a kitchen with eating area & washer and dryer. This charming casita is a gem!
This home evokes beauty, comfort and timeless elegance offering the quintessential California beach lifestyle.
