Green Gables

A 1940s bungalow on a quiet street, this Westwood home wouldn't look out of place in the English countryside. Everything from the white picket fence and the rose arch out front to the country kitchen and the classical furnishings seems perfectly in keeping, and there's even a vegetable plot out back where you're welcome to help yourself to anything in season. Arches play a big role in this charming little place, with arched windows and doorways, and there are chandeliers, antique furniture and plenty of soft rugs. The cosy living room comes with a log burning fireplace and the kitchen has high-end appliances and a warm, family feel. This is LA so you're likely to be spending much of your time out on the porch, where you can eat together before stepping down to the firepit area to enjoy a few drinks before bed. With a handful of bars and restaurants within a short walk and much of the city an easy drive away, there's no end to the attractions and eateries on offer.
