Here's a luxury we don't get to write about often enough in Los Angeles: leaving the car at home. At Cedar Loft Villa, you can walk out the front door and make Venice part of your daily routine. Abbot Kinney is roughly a seven-minute walk away. Coffee, dinner, boutiques and neighborhood wandering don't require a navigation app or a battle with traffic. Then you come home to something surprisingly calm: three bedrooms, soaring ceilings, wide-plank floors and a rooftop terrace that becomes your private escape above the neighborhood. This isn't one of our enormous LA compounds, and that's exactly the point. Cedar Loft is for someone who doesn't want to observe Los Angeles from behind gates on a hillside. You actually live in it. Walk to breakfast. Spend the afternoon in Venice. Come home, head upstairs, light the fire feature and watch the neighborhood settle into evening.
