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 house, which just listed for $1.799 million, is undeniably modest in comparison to her new royal home with Prince Harry and baby Archie at Frogmore Cottage.Meghan Markle’s taste for charming real estate and home décor seems unchanged no matter where her life has taken her. At her Toronto rental that sold last year, the exterior was just as elegant and it’s impossible to find fault with the enchanting Frogmore Cottage in Windsor. Even in her wardrobe, it’s clear the Duchess finds joy in simple yet sophisticated things, which is exactly what you find at this LA residence.The two-story stunner boasts airy light-filled spaces, four bedrooms, and three baths. The backyard is perfect for entertaining and could host garden parties worthy of royal guests if it gets dressed up a bit. 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.
