From the Hollywood Hills to Beverly Hills, these Spanish style homes were made to wow.
Spanish style homes are generally characterized by red tile roofs, thick stucco walls, and courtyards that function as an extension of the interiors. Thanks to its year-round sunny weather, Los Angeles has long been a natural choice for the free-flowing, entertainment-friendly abodes.
The following examples of Spanish contemporary and Spanish colonial residences will make you want to forgo modern manses in favor of timeless abodes with a bit more flair.

Slated to hit the market for the first time in almost two decades, this Spanish Colonial estate is nestled into the Hollywood Hills above the Sunset Strip. The 6,550-square-foot residence is equipped with six bedrooms, seven baths, and a double-height library with a lavish fireplace and wet bar.
After purchasing the home in 1999, celebrity interior designer Craig Wright set about updating the home with vibrant colors and materials during a decade-long remodel. Hand-crafted moldings, archways, cove ceilings, and classic columns speak to the home’s historic roots, while a romantic courtyard with a fireplace and plunge pool create a resort-style escape.
The old-world home is on the market for just under $8 million. Sally Forster Jones, Bryce Lowe, and Kirby Gillon of John Aaroe Group hold the listing.
