Bling Empire star Anna Shay listed her detail-rich period home in Beverly Hills this winter for $16 million. The 8,677 sq. ft. Spanish Colonial Hacienda sits on a lot that measures about 1.1 acres, and contains five bedrooms and six baths.

The property’s gated drive, flanked with tile-capped stucco retaining walls, is an indication of things to come, but the house’s foyer is a fantastical prologue that surprises entirely despite the foreshadowing.

From the ornate, arched front door, the house wallops with hexagonal terra-cotta tile, a hand-painted tile water feature in an alcove by the curved staircase, a curved raw wood ceiling, a second floor gallery, and a set of steps leading down into the main living area that instills curiosity and freely invites.

Other surprises waiting in this home: hand-painted ceilings and hand-carved ceiling beams, arched French doors, millwork, tile floors, and plank hardwood in the kitchen which is either original or a very good analogue. Outside, a variety of palms populate the large green lawn, and water features, hand-painted tile, covered porches, arcades, and balconies are the finishing touches.

A beauty.
