Sherman Oaks pool home for groups up to 10 — a quiet residential escape, 10 minutes to Universal Studios, short walk to Ventura Boulevard for dinner. Saltwater pool, rooftop sunset gazebo, gourmet kitchen, gaming lounge, EV charger, pet-friendly. Personally hosted by Tim — most messages answered in minutes.
THE OUTDOOR HEART OF THE HOUSE
Saltwater pool (3-6 ft) with four cushioned loungers and umbrellas, professionally serviced every Monday morning. A floats and noodles chest by the deck. Mid-deck, a hidden teak nook with a gas fire-table for late-night drinks. Up top, a private rooftop gazebo seating twelve under twinkle lights and curtains — our favorite spot for valley sunsets, mountain to mountain. Outdoor dining for twelve, gas grill, fire pit.
INSIDE FOR HOSTING
The kitchen was set up for actual hosting: double wall ovens, Breville espresso machine, pour-over kit, full spice rack, cookware for twelve, dining table that seats eight indoors / twelve with the terrace extension. Two living rooms — one with a 75″ 4K TV, soundbar, PS5, and Xbox Series X (kids stay busy, adults take turns). Plenty of board games on the shelf.
THE FOUR BEDROOMS UPSTAIRS
• Master suite — king bed (Japanese-inspired low platform — see photos), oversized soaking tub, rain shower, fireplace
• California king with valley-view Juliet balcony
• Queen with blackout drapes — best room for late sleepers and jet-lagged guests
• Twin beds with sit/stand desk + 49″ monitor — works as kids's room or remote-work room
Two full bathrooms upstairs, two half baths downstairs. Hotel-style amenities: organic toiletries, robes, slippers, hair dryers.
CELEBRATION-FRIENDLY
Past use cases include bridal suites, full wedding-weekend parties (the rooftop gazebo and stone balcony were made for it), multi-generation family reunions, and approved film/photo shoots. Just message me before booking if you want to host any private celebration.
