23114 Mariano St · Apartment for Rent

Built in 2006, the same year The Devil Wears Prada first strutted into our lives, 23114 Mariano Drive feels especially on brand now that Miranda Priestly is making her return: polished, dramatic, and very aware of the power of a good entrance. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms, 4,120 square feet, fully gated all the way around, and ready for someone who likes space, privacy, and a house that knows how to make an entrance. And the entrance? She’s got height, light, and a little bit of attitude. You step into a formal living area with soaring ceilings, big windows, and a glass-railed staircase that immediately makes the whole space feel open, airy, and just dramatic enough. It is the kind of foyer that can handle a proper hello, a holiday party, or one very casual walk downstairs that somehow feels like an entrance. The main living room is where the home really stretches out. It is huge, faces the backyard, has a fireplace, and flows right into the kitchen, which means no one is banished to another room while snacks, drinks, dinner, or unsolicited life updates are happening. The kitchen brings white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a center island with cooktop, generous counter space, and plenty of room for the person cooking, the person “helping,” and the person just leaning on the counter providing commentary. There is also a bonus den, created from a closed-in garage, which gives you a whole extra zone to play with. Media room, home gym, studio, game room, storage for the hobbies you swear you are getting back into, you get it. Plus, there is a small extra room that could be an office, reading nook, creative space, secret Zoom headquarters, or whatever your imagination decides after move-in. Upstairs, the primary bedroom brings its own little main-character moment with a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the backyard. Morning coffee out there? Very reasonable. Dramatic evening stare into the distance? Also available. The ensuite bath is spacious too, with a soaking tub, large glass shower, dual vanity, and enough mirror space to make getting ready feel like a team sport, even when it is just you and your skincare routine. One of the front bedrooms also has a wraparound balcony facing the front, because apparently this house heard “balcony” and said, “Yes, but make it plural.” Bedrooms are generous, light-filled, and flexible, with good closet space and room to actually live, not just wedge a bed against a wall and hope for the best. And then, the backyard. Big pool, hot tub, stone water feature, patio space, and a covered area for shade when the Valley sun starts doing what the Valley sun does best. This is not a tiny splash situation. This is a proper backyard setup. Swim, soak, host, lounge, grill, sit under the fan pretending you are “just stepping outside for a minute” and then somehow lose two hours. It happens. Fully gated, spacious, bright, and loaded with flexible rooms, fireplaces, balconies, and a backyard that is clearly auditioning for summer. Big house, big pool, big entrance. Subtle? Not really. Effective? Absolutely.
