If ogling Mid-Century Modern homes happens to be your thing, you’re in luck. The pristine Asher House in Sherman Oaks, CA, was recently up for lease, at a price worthy of its esteemed heritage. How much? Try $10,000 a month. A deep-pocketed tenant recently sealed the deal to occupy this architectural gem.

Located in the canyon known as Beverly Glen, the home is situated just north of Mulholland Drive, with easy access to both Beverly Hills and the San Fernando Valley.

Built in 1949 by Case Study designer Rodney Walker, it’s a redwood, stone, and glass structure that still retains many of its original features. They include extraordinary wood paneling and beams, a geometric brick fireplace, and floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors.

There are also a number of original features outside, including an expansive deck with a brick fireplace and a bit of a kitchen, which was way before its time. There are views of the verdant canyon from every window.

“I love the views,” says listing agent Christina Hildebrand of Crosby Doe Associates. The property “is a great opportunity to rent an architectural home in good condition with beautiful landscaping that is also homey and comfortable—it’s a nice hideaway.”
