A recently listed Los Angeles property offers respite from the blare of the city. Located between Glassell Park and Mount Washington, the four-lot compound hides two homes and a studio behind a dense border of native plants and trees. At the front of the property is a restored, shingle-clad cottage—originally built in 1936—and at the back is a bright, contemporary home built in 2012. Lush landscaping and numerous walkways connect the two structures.

The cottage offers two bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a separate office space. Original wood details and vintage finishes can be found throughout the interior. The second home adds three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all wrapped in a joyful, lime-green facade. In another corner of the property, a detached studio provides space for a home office. In total, the three structures provide nearly 2,750 square feet of living space.

Several shady patios and decks, grassy stretches, and raised garden beds help this home feel like an oasis. However, the conveniences of the city are still nearby—including many shops, restaurants, and famous attractions.
