There's a lived-in – and loved – quality about this beautiful home in Silverlake, which makes us want to unpack our bags and stay forever. While it might be in Los Angeles, the verdant gardens with towering palms, cacti, and fauna makes the hustle and bustle of city life feel like a million miles away. Inside, there's as much greenery, from potted plants to botanical posters. Wooden floorboards and a monochrome colour scheme give the space a classic feel, whether you're curled up in one of the lounges or cooking something in the country-style kitchen. Sash windows and French doors flood bedrooms with light - even the black-walled room, while plush velvet headboards feel extra special. Outdoor terraces sport wooden sofas or dining sets, for an alfresco feast in the Californian sunshine. To truly live like the stars, head down to the private pool for days spent lounging about in your own slice of old school glamour. Home truths: *The pool is not fenced in so small children should be kept an eye on *One of the bedrooms has two small single beds, which is best suited for children *Another bedroom has a sofa bed
