“I knew that this house was it at first sight," Miranda tells Harper's Bazaar. "It needed a lot of work, but it had a great view. It wasn’t right on the water, so it was protected from the wind and very private. I could just see the potential. It felt so right. In some ways it felt like a tree house. That was another thing that I loved. It’s all open, and the view of the ocean makes it feel more spacious.”

“This property was a dust bowl when I bought it and now it’s so green," Miranda explains. The reason? A sophisticated machine Evan purchased for her that pulls humidity out of the air and turns it into enough water to run the entire home. "Obviously I’m aware of the drought problem in California. This [Skywater 300] system really just pulls water out of the sky. It was a very thoughtful present because he knows how much I love a garden.”

When you enter Miranda and Evan's home you can expect food, music, and perhaps a touch of nostalgia. “When I was a child, I spent a lot of time at my grandma’s house. People were coming in and out. She was always in the kitchen making something. There was always food and snacks. She would play the piano, and we would sing and dance. So those were my two priorities. I wanted to have a piano and a great kitchen, which is always the heart of the home,” she says.
