Retro homey abode with stunning views. Hollywood star studded neighborhood. Stay in a home with rich old Hollywood history. Right by Ventura Boulevard in the middle of Studio city, central to everything but secluded enough in the hills for a peaceful stay. Pool and spa. 20 foot high ceilings. Huge outdoor deck perfect for quality time in the sun with friends and family.
IMPORTANT: Please note, as an older house, our house has wear and tear, it is not a new house, and we like to set clear expectations for any interested guests. Most guests love the character of the home and so do we. If you're looking for a new, modern house with state of the art appliances and with no wear and tear, this may not be the home for you. We've spent several thousand dollars in renovations recently in our home and want to welcome guests who enjoy a home with a bit of history.
Note: No garage, but parking for 2 cars in driveway. Street parking is available but limited. Please do not park directly in front of one of our neighbors houses --they may need the Parking space for themselves.
