Four L.A. Homes with Phenomenal Outdoor Spaces for Spring

Featured on the cover of Sunset Magazine, the award-winning backyard of this custom-designed home in Westwood is the stuff of dreams. Featuring exquisitely manicured gardens designed by Mark David Levine, the home’s stunning backyard is filled with imported trees, lush foliage and serene landscaping. Read a book by the magical Koi pond and waterfall or gather your nearest and dearest for an outdoor feast in the private Japanese-inspired gazebo.

Comprised of five separate structures on some of the city’s most enchanting grounds, this exceptional gated compound in Brentwood boasts approximately an acre of incredible outdoor living space. Among its unique offerings are a large rose garden and greenhouse ideal for the budding gardener. An outdoor dining area with an enclosed chef’s kitchen, sprawling lawns and a swimming pool make for the perfect post-pruning retreat.

This impeccable Paul Williams-designed traditional rests on one of the few prized flag lots in Hollywood Hills’ exclusive Bird Streets. French doors off nearly every room open to the fabulous backyard, which features multiple dining and lounge spaces, a built-in barbecue, gazebo, pool and spa—not to mention sweeping city-to-ocean views so breathtaking you’ll want to dine al fresco every night of the week.
