Long before the Duchess of Sussex was living large in jolly old England, she was actually cozied up in this classic Colonial style home in the Hancock Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Meghan Markle rented the abode with her ex-husband Trevor Engelson right after she landed her life-changing role on Suits, a time that seems worlds away now.

The porch, grassy lawn, and al fresco dining area are all sublime.Sheri Bienstock of The Bienstock Group has the listing, which Architectural Digest first reported is for sale.
