1242 Stearns Drive

A 1932 Spanish Revival upper duplex unit in Carthay Square with the kind of original character that is nearly impossible to find in a rental. An arched, tiled entry leads up to a light-filled living room anchored by a sculpted stone fireplace, with French doors, crown moldings, and rich hardwood floors throughout. The dining room sits beneath dark-stained beamed ceilings beside a sunny breakfast nook framed by bougainvillea. The remodeled kitchen pairs warm wood cabinetry with a gas range, stainless dishwasher, built-in microwave, and a full pantry, plus a wall of original built-in cabinetry. Three generous bedrooms feature picture-frame moldings and ceiling fans. Both bathrooms have been updated with new vanities and marble-look floors while keeping their original character: one with a separate stall shower and soaking tub, the other with vintage green tile and sculpted plaster arches. Dedicated in-unit laundry room with washer and dryer, plus a sun-filled bonus room ideal for a reading nook or home office. Refrigerator included. Water included. Street parking with city permit. Pets considered. Moments from Museum Row, The Grove, Beverly Hills, and the shops and restaurants of Pico-Robertson. 12-month minimum lease.
