Melrose, Los Angeles

This is one of those awe-inspiring homes in which you'll find it nigh-on impossible to single out a favourite bit. On sunny days, the manicured outdoor space is sure to be a strong contender, what with its swimming pool and adjoining spa, plus the barbecue, bar and alfresco lounge out on the terrace that was made for long summer evenings.
