FULLY FURNISHED. This distinguished three-bedroom, two-and-a-half-bath Spanish Colonial Revival Villa (1932) with pool is located within the Historic Berkshire Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, adjacent to South Pasadena. The home's own driveway and gate appear on screen in Curtis Hanson's acclaimed LA Confidential (1997), with the neighboring house serving as the principal filming location. The residence has been sensitively updated while retaining its original character. The home presents the vocabulary of the Spanish Colonial Revival style: a symmetrical stucco facade with warm terracotta roof tiles, decorative wrought-iron window grilles, and a recessed arched entry portal with a carved wooden door. The primary living level is organized around a sequence of arched openings, with a generous living room oriented toward the mature landscaping in the front yard. An adjoining family room extends the sequence, opening through French doors to a broad covered terrace and a heated pool beyond. The formal dining room, accessible from the living room or a hallway, connects directly to a well-appointed gourmet kitchen fitted with custom cabinetry, marble countertops, and a professional-grade range with an additional dedicated laundry room and powder room. The upper level houses the private program: two secondary bedrooms, a flexible enclosed porch suitable for use as a study or office, and the primary suite featuring an expansive walk-in wardrobe and a beautifully preserved original tiled bathroom with a soaking tub, shower, and dressing table. A full secondary bathroom serves the floor. Throughout, the residence is equipped with central heating and air conditioning, solar panels, a tankless water heater, a whole-house water softener and filtration system, and an EV charging station. On the opposite side of the pool, a self-contained guest house (600 sqft) provides one bedroom, a three-quarter bath, a living area, and a kitchen ideal as a home office, or accommodation for extended guests.

The apartment is a unit offered at a monthly price of $10,000. The person posting the listing did not specify that any pets were allowed. It may be the case that pets are ok and the manager simply has not yet filled out all the details. The kitchen conveniently includes a dishwasher.
