FURNISHED CLASSIC-HOLLYWOOD VILLA ABOVE THE SUNSET STRIP, offered FULLY FURNISHED and move-in ready. Tucked into the Hollywood Hills, this GATED 1923 MEDITERRANEAN VILLA lets you live the way classic Hollywood once did - a character home where a 1920s screenwriter or silver-screen star might have traded scripts over cocktails as the city lights flickered below. Once home to actor Lew Ayres and featured in InStyle Magazine. MAIN LEVEL: BRIGHT and SUN-FILLED with an OPEN FLOOR PLAN. An oversized living room anchored by a limestone fireplace opens to an alfresco dining deck made for golden-hour dinners, while the CHEF'S KITCHEN with MIELE APPLIANCES flows to a gracious dining area and a COZY BREAKFAST NOOK. Natural light pours through the entire home. UPSTAIRS, TWO BEDROOMS. The PRIMARY SUITE is a boutique-hotel retreat with a sitting area, original ART DECO FIREPLACE, LARGE DRESSING AREA, CARRARA MARBLE BATH with oversized steam shower and WATERWORKS fixtures, and a PRIVATE DECK with SOME OF THE BEST SUNSET VIEWS IN THE HILLS, sweeping city-lights vistas, and romantic stargazing. The SECOND BEDROOM is bright and generously sized with a WALK-IN CLOSET, served by a FRENCH RIVIERA-INSPIRED GUEST BATH. DOWNTOWN-TO-OCEAN VIEWS from nearly every room, and original period details give each space a soul new construction can't replicate. PARKING: a covered garage plus a street space in front. Central heat and air, inside laundry. WALKABLE to the legendary Sunset Strip: LAUGH FACTORY, THE COMEDY STORE, CHATEAU MARMONT, RUNYON CANYON, plus classic-Hollywood icons YAMASHIRO and MUSSO AND FRANK. TERMS: Furnished lease, $9,500/MO, FLEXIBLE MONTH-TO-MONTH, ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED. Minimum credit approximately 700, income at least 3X rent, one-month security deposit.
