The house is a duplex built in 1930. The rooms have original hardwood floors, incredible crown moldings (taken from MGM movie sets!), high ceilings and large French windows. You will have the entire ground floor, an 1800-square foot apartment which offers three double bedrooms, two full baths, a studio, formal dining room, living room with double sleep sofa, fully-equipped kitchen and separate laundry room. As you walk up to the front door there is a private patio that is hidden from the street, furnished with a table and chairs. You step into the foyer, which has warm Mexican saltillo tiles on the floor. To your right is the large living room, furnished with two black leather sofas, one futon sofa, a large coffee table, big bookcase, cocktail table, cable TV and ornamental fireplace. This room has two large French windows on one side, plus a floor-to-ceiling picture window that looks onto the lush landscaping of the garden.

Off the other side of the foyer is the formal dining room, with a big country dining table and chairs for 10, plus a sideboard. Beyond that is the studio, where you can use your computer on the large desk. There is wireless throughout the apartment, by the way. Beyond the studio is the kitchen, which has two windows, loads of cabinets, a full freezer/fridge, dishwasher, Merritt & O'Keefe stove and range, microwave, blender, juicer and other small appliances. You'll find a full set of dishes, glassware and cutlery for 10, plus plenty of pots and pans. Off the kitchen is the laundry room, which has a large washer and large dryer, plus several cabinets and shelves for more storage.

A long hallway off the foyer has a closet for your suitcases and leads to the sleeping quarters. Here you'll find one bedroom with new double bed, one bedroom with brand new queen bed, and one bedroom with an oversize California king bed with antique headboard and brand new mattress. All three bedrooms have brand new wall-to-wall carpet, large dressers and walk-in closets, and the California king room has a 32' flat-screen cable TV with DVR, and a brand new en suite bathroom with walk-in stall shower. The two other bedrooms share a large bathroom with the original Art Deco tiles, a full bathtub and separate walk-in shower. A door from the queen bedroom leads to a small dressing room that opens onto the bathroom, so that this second bathroom can also be considered en suite.
