Vines creep over arched windows and palm trees dance over the pool for a tropical-romance vibe at this contemporary Beverly Hills home. Where the entryway bursts with bougainvillea and the backyard is a lush secret garden, the rooms are all sleek glass-railed staircases and cool white-marble walls. It’s a short drive to canyon hikes and to restaurants and bars along the Sunset Strip.

Sunlight filters through palm fronds and ferns to dapple the white sofas on the private backyard terrace, and water spills from the hot tub into the swimming pool for a soothing backdrop. On the other side, the house commands views over a neighboring canyon.

Mission-style doors give onto a contemporary oasis lined with travertine and hardwood floors. Step down from the entryway into a sunken living room with a double-height ceiling—and windows that stretch up to meet it. French doors flood the neighboring dining area with light, and sunshine gleams off the white-stone backsplash and breakfast bar in the kitchen.

This Mediterranean hideaway is a short drive from hiking trails in Franklin and Laurel canyons, where you might spot a celeb or two walking their dogs. Drive past gated mansions to the tempting luxury shopping and fine dining of Beverly Hills and the storied eateries and lounges along the Sunset Strip. Delve into L.A. history at one of the area’s historic mansions and snap a photo in front of the Beverly Hills sign at a local park.
