You'll feel you are back in old Hollywood with mission windows, lush landscaping and original beams. Because of its ample size, (4,100 square feet), this an ideal house for a single family or two families of 4.

Provencal pale yellow and green cement carocim tiles cover the walls, back splash and custom kitchen table, which seats 6-8 people. There is also counter seating for 3, where you can chat with the "cook of the house."
Our master suite is fit for a King with lush linens and draperies, enormous walnut and iron bed, seating areas, fainting couch, guest closet, T.V./VCR/DVD/CD player. The Master bath is enormous and is comprised of three separate rooms so the lady and gentleman of the house can dress and bathe at their leisure.
