This low-slung Spanish Colonial home was designed in 1929 by Paul Revere Williams—one of the first African-American architects registered in California—and later restored by designer Kevin A. Clark. The exterior features a clay-tile roof and white-stucco façade. Cool mint-green shutters accent the windows and French doors, which provide generous natural light.

Old Hollywood style prevails inside, where elaborately faceted wood ceilings and doors meet rounded-arch portals, giving the house a fresh, modern look despite its vintage. The original kitchen is still in place, adding to the home’s charm.

The lush three-acre grounds include a pool, terrace, citrus orchard, and rose gardens, along with sweeping views of the surrounding hills.
