Mid-Century Zen Mountain Getaway

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.

**What guests will love about the area**
Sherman Oaks is a perfect blend of laid-back charm and bustling city life. Just minutes away, you'll find excellent dining options, boutique shopping, and local attractions like the Sherman Oaks Galleria. Nature lovers will enjoy easy access to local parks and hiking trails, ideal for an early morning stroll or a sunset adventure.

**Favorite thing within walking distance**
A short walk will take you to a peaceful neighborhood park, perfect for a morning jog or an afternoon picnic. If you're in the mood for coffee, there’s a charming café nearby that serves locally roasted brews and fresh pastries.

**What makes this property stand out**
Designed with both relaxation and entertainment in mind, this home is a sanctuary for those who appreciate art, history, and outdoor living. The Japanese garden, designed by Lew Watanabe, offers a tranquil, zen-like atmosphere that complements the sleek interior. The bonus family room, complete with a 65-inch TV and air hockey table, is perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring.

**Inside the home**
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. Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the mini gym, and there's a turntable for music lovers. Whether you’re here to unwind or entertain, our home has everything you need.

**Guest access**
Guests have access to the entire property, including all outdoor spaces, pool, hot tub, and entertainment areas. The driveway offers ample parking, and the home is equipped with a keyless entry system for added convenience.

**Additional highlights**
We provide PAYA luxury products and Egyptian cotton towels for a touch of spa-like indulgence. Our ceramics collection is available for purchase, offering a unique opportunity to take a piece of this home with you.

For your safety and peace of mind, the property has a security camera covering the front entrance. There are no cameras inside or in the backyard.
