Situated in one of LA's trendiest neighbourhoods, Slate Grey is an appealing and tranquil family home, just a four-minute drive from the buzz of Los Feliz. The hip and ever-emerging hillside enclave borders sprawling Griffith Park (a five-minute walk away) and is perfect for long hikes, jogs or spins in the sunshine. Back home, the swimming pool comes complete with waterfall features, a jacuzzi, luscious green surroundings and plenty of sun loungers makes for an ideal, private spot to hang out with friends and family. Fire up the barbecue and enjoy alfresco dinners in the balmy California evenings. Turn down the heat with a good book in the light and airy living room with soft furnishings and neutral tones. And don't let the relaxation stop there. Take your morning mediation out on the large balcony overlooking the billowing garden and its scenic backdrop.
