It's a great family home, for these 5 reasons: A. Kids (and parents) love the expansive layout. It's like a huge playhouse for them to run around in. B. It's secure. The location is hidden, and the neighbors are as solid as a rock, having lived here for decades. C. We have gates for stairs as needed and other kid safe features. D. There are 2 cribs and 2 high chairs available. Along with toys and games and floats for the pool. E. It's close to Universal Studios, and nearby to lots of family activities.
The property is located high in the hills off of Mulholland Drive in the Beverly Hills Post Office Area. It is right in the center of everything in LA, from Beverly Hills to Hollywood to Downtown LA to the beach to the valley. It is on a very quiet, private lane off of Mulholland. Only 6 neighbors live on the lane, who have all lived there for decades. Two of them are rock stars, and an Oscar winning movie Director lives next door. It is a wonderful enchanting private lane tucked away off of Mulholland Drive, so that you don't feel like you are in a busy city, yet you are in the middle of all of LA.
I do have one other home available in Beverly Hills. It has 4 bedrooms and a pool. Contact me if interested at 310-433-5143

Living in LA since 1990, when I moved there from my home state of Georgia to LA to produce TV commercials. I began buying houses in 1993, remodeling and flipping them, working my way up to this wonderful property. I bought this property in 2005, when it was a mess, and needed a full remodel. It looked like a run-down mountain cabin, and I decided to rebuild it into what it is now- as inspiration I took from modern resort design, like the work of Kelly Werstler, Phillipe Stark, and also architectural masters such as Jon Lautner.
Dan Tarver purchased this estate in 2005
I wanted to experience the iconic California dream house in Beverly Hills. A huge private bold modern architectural compound, with pool and guest house and views. It's a true 'dream house'.
It's located just off Mulholland Drive in a legendary area where James Dean raced cars, Samual Goldwyn played tennis, Eddie Van Halen can still be heard playing his guitar, Jack Nicholson can be seen leaving in his limo an hour before Lakers games, and other celebs have lived for decades because it's the best living in LA. It's quiet and private and in the hills, yet just minutes away from everything in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, Downtown, the Valley, and the beach.
This house has a story, and it has been suggested that I write a book about it. The story is that it is located in a legendary area of LA, where legends of Hollywood lived in years past and present live to get away from the city but still live within an easy drive. The house for me was a personal achievement, representing the attainment of the American dream, owning the proverbial dream house in the hills of LA, not just any hills, Beverly Hills! 'Swimming pools, movie stars', just like the old TV show. I had an epic task to remodel the house, which is part of the story, along with many good times having owned it. I began to receive requests to rent it in 2007 - first for photo shoots, then events, then short rentals. By 2009 I was getting asked for short vacation rentals back-to back, so I decided to make it available full time for rentals, due to popular demand.
First, there's a 'Wow factor' when you walk in. The sense that it's more fantastic than the pictures. More expansive, spread out over 3 levels built around the main level featuring the all glass indoor outdoor pool access. It's incredibly private and secluded. It has just about everything you need. The heated pool is amazing, it makes you feel like you are on a tropical island, even if its the middle of the winter. The spa is huge and the jets are powerful. The furniture is very cool and there's a lot of it, including modern classics by Eames, Saarinen, Mies Van de Rough, Graves, Frank Gehry, Ligne Roset, Modern Living, Paola Lenti, and many others.
The home features 6 bedrooms plus a loft that can be used as a 7th bedroom. There is an extra queen sized bed available.
Families are welcome. Kids always love this property, it is like a big playhouse to them. There are 2 cribs available plus a playpen on the property. There's a gate for the opening to the lower level.
There is a staff maid, maintenance man, pool man, and gardener who are on call should any problems arise. The owner can be reached at anytime to insure any concerns are handled immediately.
The experience of the guest is of paramount importance, so we take great efforts to prepare the house for your arrival. Maids clean the house before each guest arrives.
Dan’s house is a lot of fun in a beautiful setting. You enjoy the natural environment of the canyons, with spectacular views, and travel a short distance down the hill to Studio City and the activities of Hollywood. The weather was warm in midday, and we enjoyed the pool, spa and sunshine.
The house was ample for our 9 adults, and comfortably furnished. Very stylish with interesting modern California architectural style. We easily cooked some full dinners in and spent some evenings “home” relaxing. I really appreciate being able to have our dog with us.
I would definitely recommend this house. Thanks to Dan for the opportunity and his gracious hosting!
Thank you Dan for opening your lovely home to our family. It was the perfect setting and accommodations for our large group. We were in town for a wedding and it was wonderful having everyone together and yet everyone had their own bedroom and private bathroom. Plenty of space to entertain, share meals and create lots of memories. The home is just lived in enough that we were not nervous about having fun and enjoying it to its fullest. You were a delite to work with and look forward to returning someday.
I can't decide what was better - the house or the owner. Both were exceptional! Dan the owner was extremely accommodating and helpful. The house was phenomenal. Perfect for any purpose. We loved the location and the view! The pool was perfect for the kids. 5 stars all around. Thank you!
We were two families, one from Sydney and one from the UK, that wanted to holiday somewhere in the world that was half way between the both of us. We were absolutely thrilled with this find and spent 10 wonderful days here. The pool was heated which gave endless hours of fun for our kids. The location was so private & safe yet easily accessible to all of the activities LA provides. The owner, Dan, was super responsive and excellent with any questions we had. A fantastic vacation. Thank you Dan!
The pictures simply don't do this home justice. It had everything you could ever want in a vacation home. Vasts amounts of space, a great outdoor atmosphere and magnificent views from everywhere.
Our family of six spent 6 days here and I'd highly recommend it if your visiting the Beverly Hills/Hollywood area. Large bedrooms, a heated pool and large common areas made this choice a no brainer for our family.
The owner Dan, was a great host answered our questions immediately. 5 Stars!
The villa is just awesome. Nice, large rooms, barbecue and a pool. We stayed 8 days and had to call the owner only once. He answered back in gew minutes and proposed to come over on a Sunday just to make sure everything was fine.
To top that, even though the villa feels like to be in a remote place you're actually 5mn away from every commodités.
Great stay, great owner and great villa.
