From the Agent: "Now is your chance to live like a rockstar, as the 1941 Bonnet House by Richard Neutra is on the market for lease. Neutra was a master of integrating his homes into their unique surroundings. As such, this early modernist design echoes the Hollywood Hillside it sits upon and is ideally sited for stunning sunsets and canyon views. The two-bedroom, two-bath property perfectly incorporates indoor/outdoor living into nearly every room, with glass doors and sliding walls opening to the private landscaped grounds. Carefully restored and updated in 2016, the home comes fully furnished, with handpicked designer furniture, and is ready for move-in July 2, 2023."

The well-maintained 1940s home is nestled in the Hollywood Hills, and it still has its original floor plan.
