Design enthusiasts will love this striking home, conceived in Spanish Revival style by star architect Paul Williams. Built in 1929, this three-bedroom home combines characterful design elements such as wooden ceiling beams and moorish tiling with luxurious touches: think a private hot tub, a restaurant-quality ‘La Canche’ French stove and an enchanting bedroom set in its very own tower – Rapunzel, eat your heart out. Nestled within a gated community in the tranquil San Rafael Hills, this home is a fifteen-minute drive from charming Pasadena and closer still to the iconic Rose Bowl Stadium, making it the perfect choice for fans of American football. After a day exploring all that Los Angeles has to offer, cook up a feast on the state-of-the-art grill and savour your handiwork alfresco on the terrace, before finishing the day with a soak in the clawfoot bathtub or sipping a beer in the hot tub.

Home truths:
*There is a fourth bedroom in the tower but it doesn't have a door and only has a day bed so it's ideal for daytime relaxation
*Smoking and parties are not allowed at this home
*There is garage space for up to three cars
*There is a separate apartment on the property’s northern side – this is rented out but completely private and won’t disturb your stay
