‘Dollhouse’ star and producer Eliza Dushku listed this pretty-as-a-picture midcentury bungalow in the Los Angeles area this month. Dushku is looking for $1.85 million for the cottage.

The house contains three bedrooms and three baths, and sits in a private little corner of Laurel Canyon. An extremely welcoming home, the exterior begins with a set of aquamarine gates—setting off the green of the flora nicely—before the home emerges. The exterior stucco of the house has been painted a soft but intense shade of yellow. The garage door is red.

An intense beginning, one that gives way to interiors that boast original tile floors, off-white walls and ceilings, and multiple sets of French doors. The softness of interior stucco is emphasized by an expressive arch or two, but the effect isn’t overplayed. The living style is refined and just a little bit circumspect.

Outside, the landscaping neatly circumvents the quarter-acre lot size. The patio—also sporting original tile—is nicely proportioned, and a hardwood riser adds an additional level to the space. Most appealing is the set of stairs climbs to an intimate spot overlooking the immediate area, a flourish which gives this cozy cottage property a pleasing sense of apparent continuation.
