This Hollywood Hills home ticks all of our boxes and then some. For starters, the garden was made for outdoor living. There's a swimming pool with a built-in spa, a balcony with mountain views, and a summer kitchen where you can barbecue all night long. Indoors, bi-folding doors provide easy access to the sun-dappled terraces. Each room is bright, breezy, and extremely stylish – our favourites are the state-of-the-art kitchen and lavish main suite. The cherry on top is the home theatre, a perfect spot for watching films with the whole family.
