About This Home
The Rodenberg Residence | c.1954 Mid-Century Modern Masterpiece | Secluded within the storied hills of Laurel Canyon, the Rodenberg Residence is a true Mid-Century Modern retreat designed in 1954 and privately tucked behind gates on an expansive double lot. A rare find, this Palm Springs inspired Post & Beam offers the kind of privacy and architectural pedigree that defines the Hollywood Hills celebrity lifestyle. Walls of glass invite the outside in while preserving a serene sense of seclusion, flooding the interiors with natural light and framing canyon and garden views. The open living space anchored by a sculptural fireplace and custom built-ins feels both expansive and intimate, ideal for quiet evenings or chic entertaining. The skylit chef's kitchen, outfitted with stainless appliances, is designed for gatherings that flow seamlessly out to the pool and deck. Here, the classic kidney-shaped pool and generous terraces create a private oasis for sun-drenched afternoons or starlit nights. The primary suite is a sanctuary within a sanctuary complete with a spa-like bath and doors that open directly to a discreet outdoor hot tub, perfectly hidden for private moments of relaxation and escape. With rear access to a private two-car garage from a concealed shared drive, this residence offers both convenience and discretion. The Rodenberg Residence is more than a home it is an architectural hideaway, where Mid-Century glamour meets ultimate privacy in the Hollywood Hills.
