A House Built For A King

The entrance to Dustin Brown’s former Hermosa Beach mansion begins with striking barn-style front doors, set against a dramatic, dark façade. Framed by two sculptural trees in raised planters, the scene sets a bold first impression.

Stepping through the barn doors, you’re greeted by a glass entry that opens into a hallway foyer wrapped in dark black brick. The moody palette is lifted by a vibrant green plant and a light wood bench, offering a clean yet edgy welcome.

The hallway opens up to a central modern courtyard, anchored by a 100-year-old olive tree that immediately draws your eye.

This layout not only enhances privacy and security but also emphasizes the indoor-outdoor flow that defines the home’s unique architecture.

Getting Past The Keeper

Once you finally enter the main living spaces, a glass-enclosed staircase serves as the focal point, framed by black steel and rich wood tones, while natural light floods the space through floor-to-ceiling windows.

The living room combines comfort and style with a marble fireplace and mounted TV as its focal point, framed by built-in shelving. Overhead, the coffered ceiling adds dimension and a subtle elegance to the space.

Seamless transitions between the living room and backyard patio are made possible by a sliding glass wall that maintains an open flow while still creating a sense of separation between indoors and out.

Modern Kitchen

Brown’s former kitchen features a large center island with a deep grey base, crisp white quartz countertops, and a professional-grade Wolf range with a stainless steel vent hood.

The space is bathed in natural light from black-framed picture windows that frame the greenery outside, while custom white cabinetry with brass hardware provides ample storage.

The open-concept layout flows into the breakfast nook, where a concrete-top round table is paired with rattan-backed chairs beneath a sculptural chandelier. Geometric artwork on the wall adds a sleek, modern edge to the cozy setting.

Open Home Office

At the top of the staircase, the landing leads to an open home office that’s only half enclosed by a sleek glass wall with black framing. This design keeps the space visually connected to the rest of the upstairs while offering just enough separation for focus and privacy.

Inside the office, a long double desk runs the length of one wall beneath a curated gallery display, blending function with personality.

Thoughtful additions like a gray couch and a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf give the room flexibility, making it just as suitable for reading and relaxing as it is for working.

Slashing Through The Upstairs Bedrooms

In the Instagram post from Matt Morris Development, you’ll see the primary suite pairs soft neutral tones with layered textures and vaulted, shiplap-paneled ceilings to create a bright and serene space.

You’ll also see how the en-suite bathroom carries that same airy feeling, with a freestanding soaking tub beneath black-trimmed windows and twin light-wood vanities topped in marble.

Guest Bedrooms

In another Instagram post from Matt Morris Development, you get a peek at a few of the guest bedrooms upstairs, each designed with its own personality while maintaining the home’s overall style.

Though they follow a similar layout, differences in color palette, textures, and lighting choices give each space a distinct vibe.

Scoring With The Home Theater

On the bottom level of the house, the stairway leads you to the home theater where refined aesthetics are paired with cutting-edge entertainment, creating a space as suited for casual lounging as it is for immersive viewing.

At the heart of the theater wall, three massive flat-screen TVs face the low-profile gray sectional and deep blue armchairs, allowing for multi-screen viewing ideal for sports or movie marathons.

Backyard Built For Athletes

Outside, multiple spaces stretch along the property, each designed for a mix of entertaining and relaxing. Whether it’s hosting friends or unwinding solo, the layout offers something for every moment.

Patio Spaces

The first patio, shown in the Instagram post below, includes a fully equipped outdoor kitchen and a cozy lounge area, perfect for casual evenings. The second patio takes it up a notch with a built-in TV and spacious dining setup, ideal for hosting summer barbecues.

Shallow Pool and Athlete Field

Rounding out the property, the sleek pool is intentionally shallow, maxing out at four feet to ensure a safer environment for Brown’s four children. The design allows for worry-free family enjoyment while still providing ample space for swimming and play.

In the final photo of the Instagram post, a large artificial turf field takes center stage, complete with a hockey net for off-the-clock practice. Right beside it, a half-court basketball setup adds a playful touch for casual games with the family.

Final Thoughts

Technology and sustainability are woven into the design of this home, with a solar-paneled roof, four Tesla Powerwalls, and a whole-home Control 4 audio-video system.

Sitting on two flat lots totaling over 12,000 square feet, the property offers a rare combination of space, privacy, and high-end amenities in one of Southern California’s most desirable coastal communities.

Brown sold the property to move to Buffalo, New York, to support his kids’ hockey dreams. Originally from Ithaca, this allows Brown to be close to family and coach the Jr. Sabres team.

While they miss the warm weather of SoCal, this one-of-a-kind Hermosa Beach estate is now in the hands of a new owner.
