ABOUT MY HOME This traditional farmhouse was designed by noted Los Angeles architect Robert Byrd and built in 1939. Byrd was known for his modern \ style that we have tried to live up to and his use of bird houses embedded in the actual structure. You will notice the two bird houses on the front of the house above the windows of the second story. This is a Standalone Construction that is 2,000 square foot home with no shared walls on a 10,000 square foot lot with the original wood floors and brick fireplaces remain in the original rooms of the house. Private, Fenced Side and Backyards. Front yard to street (no fence). House is a on tranquil, low traffic street with no connecting through streets on either side which is a perk the layout of the neighborhood provides. You would be renting the entire property to enjoy and we would not be on the premises. ABOUT THE NEIGHBORHOOD / VALLEY VILLAGE The house is located in a quiet pocket neighborhood that is 2 blocks by 8 blocks in the heart of Valley Village, California. The quaint 2.09-square-mile Valley Village lies a hop skip and a jump from Universal City, just north of Studio City, east of Sherman Oaks and Encino, southwest of North Hollywood and west of Burbank in the San Fernando Valley of Los Angeles.

CLOSE TO UNIVERSAL, WARNER BROS, HOLLYWOOD, WEST HOLLYWOOD, BEVERLY HILLS AND WESTSIDE We have welcomed so many incredible families on adventures to Universal that is so close - less than 5 miles away by car or a luxury option in LA being 1 mile from a subway station that is one stop from Universal City (save on parking and driving!).

For a day on the West Side, Brentwood is just 14 miles and a day at the beach, the the Santa Monica Pier is 20 Miles. POOL SPA HEATER The pool and jacuzzi are cleaned and serviced twice weekly for your enjoyment as part of the overall rental - both are available to be used all year long with or without the heater. The heater is included for the pool and jacuzzi, but not kept heated when no one is there. We let any guest handle heating the pool and jacuzzi directly so that you are in control of your temperature preferences upon arrival and throughout your stay.
