Swap the bustle of downtown LA for the calm of the Altadena hills at this palatial Californian home. Calling out for a family holiday or extended working trip, expect a private pool and Jacuzzi, countless high-style living spaces, a playroom, a primary bedroom with a private sitting room – and the list goes on. Like with most homes in the LA hills, you’ll need a car when it’s time to get out and about, as there’s little within walking distance from here. Make the nearby Echo Mountain trail your first port of call; it’s just a short drive away. Or chase the buzz of downtown LA – just a half-hour drive.
