Heart Haven: Poolside Oasis w/ Fountain, Lanai, Half Court

About the Space

LaFayette Square, established in 1913, is one of LA's most architectural significant neighborhoods and considered a crown jewel of the city's rich legacy. It's a gated, 4-street neighborhood in the West Adams community of Los Angeles right above the 10 freeway. In this quiet backyard, city noises are muffled out by a beautiful custom fountain. LFS is a historic, affluent neighborhood known for grand early 20th-century homes, Craftsman & Spanish Revival styles, and an elite diverse past, becoming a hub for prominent African Americans after restrictive covenants ended, featuring famous residents like Joe Louis and Paul Williams, and now designated for it's architectural heritage. This home's first owner was the first president of LA's DWP. Homes in "The Square" were built for entertaining with formal living spaces, graceful sight lines, and expansive outdoor spaces. Our home's architecture provides a timeless backdrop that photographs beautifully and feels both historic and intimate. The streets are tree lined giving a feeling of elegance and seclusion. The rental includes a regulation half basketball court, grassy area, pool, outdoor electrical outlets that make party planning so much easier, large fire pit with seating, one large 3/4 bathroom and a lanai. The Lanai has 2 sinks, an ice maker, Wolf grill, wolf range and stove, massive fireplace, HUGE TV screen, and seating for 16. The lanai's entire back side opens up with pocket doors for a lovely indoor/outdoor feel. I also have three decorative, large, outdoor trash cans that you can use for your event. The home sits on a double lot with a native green in the front. Sonos sound system covers the backyard and it available to guests. Limited Wifi available for hosts, not for guests. There are multiple hoses and filtered water at the tap. Venue has outdoor lighting. Lafayette Square is a gated community with ample street parking. The host is a community organizer and uses her space to host events often and can help with a vendor list and suggestions for an easy flow. The property has an extensive rose garden with roses from all over the world. When it's in bloom, it's lovely. ***For ticketed events a surcharge of $250/hr will be applied*** Message me if you'd like to see the space.
