A pool, pergola, and mature green gardens will make you want to practically live outside (but the interior is darling, too).

Details:

Step foot into the yard of this Toluca Woods home, spin around, and you may just become a believer in “love at first sight.” That’s because this gated oasis in the greater Los Angeles-area has nearly 360-degrees of lush outdoor space, making it the perfect spot for a weekend afternoon pool party or a low-key afternoon siesta.

The spacious grassy area also has a gas fire pit with built-in bench seating. Just add a glass of wine for epic stargazing.

Oh, and speaking of stars, listing agent Kat Nitsou, with Sotheby’s International Realty, tells us the neighborhood has some of the Hollywood variety, too. Toluca Woods has been home to many notable residents, including Miley Cyrus, Viola Davis, Steve Carell, and Melissa McCarthy.

“Ronald and Nancy Reagan held their wedding reception in Toluca Lake and comedian Bob Hope was a longtime resident of Toluca Lake,” Nitsou dishes.

While we can’t stop gushing about the outdoor living space (the verdant landscaping, the poolside palm trees, the mature gardens), the interior of the home is impressive, too.

Step through the punchy orange door and enter the 1,218 square-foot bohemian abode. The three-bedroom home has two fireplaces and handsome hardwood floors throughout.

The newly remodeled kitchen has glass upper cabinets, Carrara marble countertops, and high-end appliances. Plus, a breakfast nook with banquette seating is a sweet touch.

Natural light shines through the home thanks to big windows, and potential buyers will be impressed with the great use of space and the flow of the home, says Nitsou.

But one more thing about that outdoor living space: There’s a pergola perfect for dining alfresco. Swoon!
