Tucked into the striking canyon landscape of Brentwood, Gigi Ziskin’s latest lease offering feels less like a traditional Los Angeles residence and more like a private wellness retreat. Thoughtfully conceived by Santa Monica–based architect Jesse Bornstein, 2496 Mandeville Canyon Road is defined by bold horizontal lines, expansive walls of glass and warm wood detailing. The residence was formerly owned by an Olympic cyclist who represented Canada and is now on the market for lease and for sale.
Set among curated, mature landscaping, the property offers a sense of privacy with towering palms, sculptural greenery and manicured hedges. The main residence spans four bedrooms and four baths, with towering ceilings in the primary living areas that enhance the home’s sense of openness and volume. A carefully curated material palette of hardwood, polished concrete, stone and plaster reinforces the home’s timeless aesthetic, while maintaining a warm and livable feel. The kitchen anchors the space as both a functional hub and a design centerpiece, featuring custom wood cabinetry, stone countertops, a generous island and Wolf appliances—all positioned to take advantage of garden views and natural light.
Outside, find a tranquil koi pond complemented by a pool, spa, and cedar-clad sauna. A detached one-bedroom, one-bath guesthouse echoes the architectural language of the main home, offering its own deck and direct access to the pool.
Residents and visitors enjoy close proximity to some of the area’s most sought-after hiking trails, including Sullivan Canyon, Kenter Trail and Mandeville Canyon Park.
