The Sure House was designed in 1950 by AIA architect Samuel Reisbord. The best way to see this masterpiece is to drive to the end of Caverna Drive to the very end of this quiet cul-de-sac. The Sure House is the last home on the street and very private. Pull… Read More up to the 1950's iconic carport and you have arrived at your own paradise in the middle of the city. This quiet oasis is only disturbed by the buzz of hummingbirds and the amphitheater filled with song birds surrounding the property. Between the mature plantings are views of the Hollywood Hills. This view looks more like a postcard of some more remote vista such as found in Ojai or Topanga Canyon vs what you typically think of in L.A. when you are just a short step away from the famed Mulholland Hwy and the upper access to Runyon Canyon Park and Outpost canyon. The interiors match up with the siting of this home; a masterfully laid out placement featuring beamed ceilings, wood floors and glazed openings to house the view from every room. This is a 4 bedroom residence featuring 3 rooms down and a primary suite upstairs. There is a wonderful living room with a fire place that adjoins the dining room and smartly accesses the kitchen. If you live here though, you will likely spend most of your days outside entertaining, gardening, relaxing and enjoying what it means to live in California. Architect Sam Reisbord was well known for the Beverly Carlton building on Olympic in Beverly Hills. It was made famous by Marilyn Monroe, Mae West and Lucille Ball, who were each once residents in the early 1950s and loved its glamorous design and furnishings. It's no longer called the Beverly Carlton, you would know it now as the Avalon hotel, refreshed by designer Kelly Wearstler. Kelly has smartly kept the gorgeous hourglass pool, cabanas and lobby nearly original. At the Sure House you can see some of Reisbord signature mid-century building design elements in the light opening patterns in the corners of the brick facades, creative steel & glass use, and California outdoor room creations for living under the sun.
