About This Property

ATTENTION: Are you tired of living and working from home in a cramped, costly apartment that is unremarkable, without a garden and trees to look out to, and located in a drab, unwalkable neighborhood? Are you ready for a spacious, beautiful, healthful environment to live in, at a reasonable rent rate? This Mid-Wilshire/Beverly Hills Adjacent one bedroom, one bath, 1,100 sq. feet apartment is a rare gem - a quiet, fully restored apartment in a classic 1930s Normandy style four-unit apartment building, built when pride of craftsmanship prevailed. It has a large living room with a faux fireplace and mantle, a formal dining room with wood wainscotting, charming kitchen with a gas range with stainless vent hood/fan, and stainless refrigerator, and an in-unit laundry room with a washer and dryer. You will live in a secure, second floor unit, with its own separate outdoors entrance accessed from a well-lighted flagstone pathway wending through a lovely garden. Inside, you’ll thrive under high, original crown-molding ceilings, large rooms with big windows to let light in that look out on mature trees in the garden and on this tree-shaded street. You’ll feel like you live in a protected, secluded retreat. Yet, on walks you’ll meet friendly neighbors in this lovely South Carthay historic preservation neighborhood. (South Carthay is a walkable island of beautiful single-family homes, duplexes and small apartment buildings.) All this on a two-year lease, $2,250 per month, water and trash fees included. MORE FEATURES: There are hardwood floors in the spacious living room and elegant dining room. The bedroom floor is covered with a new, neutral carpet and an all-natural sound dampening pad is underneath to make your already quiet bedroom more serene. The kitchen, bathroom and laundry room have new imported tile floors. The bathroom has both a classic bathtub for soaking, and a stand-up shower in a separate tile-lined stall. There are wall-mounted air conditioning units in the dining/living room and the bedroom - or open the big windows on warm days for a gentle cooling cross breeze. WALKABILITY: Take evening strolls in this tranquil South Carthay Historic District and say hello to other couples and singles out for a walk. A less than a one block walk takes you to the La Cienega Retail Center (inc a Chase Bank, dry cleaners and Subway), and a U.S. post office. The same short walk takes you to Pico Blvd, where you find a plentiful and growing selection of ethnic, vegan and hip restaurants and cafés and a Starbucks. CONVENIENT TRANSIT: Santa Monica Bus line provides buses running east/west on Pico Blvd every 10 minutes; La Cienega Blvd (one block west) has regular Metro north/south buses. The Purple Line subway line from downtown to La Cienega & Wilshire Blvd., will be completed in early 2023. It will be a four block walk north from the apartment. DRIVING: A 10 minute drive south takes you to the heart of Culver City's film & television, new media and design studios; 5 minutes north and west brings you into glamorous Beverly Hills; 10 minutes north brings you into all of West Hollywood's upscale shopping and restaurant/bars, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Less than 30 minutes and you are either in downtown Los Angeles or Santa Monica, or you are at LAX. The 10 Freeway is just one mile south. UCLA can be reached in 20 minutes on surface streets. MORE: Living in South Carthay is like going back in time to a quieter and more peaceful Los Angeles, and yet you have close access to all the business, shopping, entertainment, restaurants and cafes that make Los Angeles an extraordinary and exciting city. The Beverly Center and Melrose Ave. shopping are just minutes away by car (or transit). The Farmers Market, The Grove, LACMA, the Petersen Automotive Museum, and the Academy of Motion Pictures Museum (to be opened in December, 2021), and Little Ethiopia are all within walking distance. PARKING: Street parking on the block is unrestricted from 5pm to 9am and all day Sunday (2 hr parking during other hours), but if you prefer a 24 hour permit parking, you can purchase it from L.A. DOT. It costs $38 per year, per car. The rear-view mirror parking cards are good for all street parking within the parking district (visitor passes are also available for a small fee from L.A.DOT). With a permit parking card, you will always have ample parking on the block or adjacent. FINAL DETAILS: Once living here, you won't want to leave!
