'a lovely abode' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'with leo i had built myself' is the wordplay.
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'built' indicates anagramming the letters.
'myself' becomes 'me'.
'leo'+'i'+'had'='leoihad'
'leoihad' is an anagram of 'idealho'.
'idealho' put next to 'me' is 'IDEAL HOME'.
