2 Bed/1 Bath on 989sqft on a total lot size of 10,994 built in 1954 Studio City. According to the listing, the home was built by Cliff May and hit the rental market for $3,100 back in mid August 2012. I am a little late in reporting this one and I believe its no longer available. 

From the listing:

Perched on a knoll, behind a gated drive is a quintessential Cliff May home built in 1954. Walls of glass glass and superb architecture make this creative space a one of a kind dwelling for the eclectic connoisseur of life's finer things. 2 bedroom and 1 bath home on a large, very private lot. The designer style kitchen plays to dining and living areas; all flows seemlessy to the grassy yard, coy ponds and gorgeous views of the valley beyond. This is a rare opportunity to occupy one of the foremost architect's offering, on one of the best lots the hills have to offer. In close proximity to Ventura shops and restaurants as well as the studios. Call agent for exclusions.
