One peek at the mustard-gold shade against the white clapboard on this 1920s Colonial, perched on a hill near Griffith Park in Los Angeles, and you know itâs not your typical fussy traditional. Step inside the chocolate brown front door, and youâll find a house thatâs calm but also happy; chic but family-friendly; grown-up but filled with cozy upholstery thatâs as soft and inviting as ice cream.
