About this house rental
Welcome to our serene mid-century modern retreat in the heart of Sherman Oaks.
Designed in 1959 by Yehuda Lavie, a student of Lloyd Wright, this hidden gem is a blend of history, style, and comfort. The home is nestled on a peaceful street, offering a perfect escape while still being close to the vibrancy of the city. Guests can unwind in the sprawling outdoor oasis, featuring a large, unheated pool, a luxurious hot tub, and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen perfect for grilling under the stars.
**What you'll love about the property**
Our hot tub is the crown jewel—a cozy, tranquil space perfect for a night under the stars. Inside, the kitchen is a dream for home chefs, featuring modern appliances and plenty of space to whip up your favorite meals. The blackout curtains in the primary bedroom guarantee a restful night's sleep, no matter what time you turn in. Plus, the home's handcrafted ceramic décor—designed by the current homeowner—adds a personal touch to every corner.

The layout comfortably accommodates families or groups, with five bedrooms that offer a mix of king, queen, and twin beds. The primary suite boasts luxury bedding and its own serene view of the garden. The kitchen is fully stocked, the dining room seats 10, and the living room bathes in natural sunlight with views of the zen garden.
Entertainment is never far away—enjoy a movie night, challenge friends to a game of ping pong or air hockey, or relax by the pool.
