LA FONTAINE APARTMENTS UNIT M WEST HOLLYWOOD LELAND BRYANT 1928 - LEASED
2 BED, 2 BATH; 1350 SQUARE FEET
$5900
The highly-private, historical landmark La Fontaine evokes the Golden-Age of Hollywood, whose French-Revival architecture was rooted in master craftsmanship and hand-tooling. Meticulously renovated in modern finishes to its decorative foundations and fully restored detailing. With its 14-foot high ceilings, original crown moldings, as well as ebony-varnished hardwood flooring, unit M is unique in its grand-scale, stately public rooms; formal dining room and entryway. The elegant layout allows for natural migration and graceful room flow. Though there is ample closet and storage space throughout, the third bedroom has been formerly used as an office space and walk-in closet. With the building's wonderfully contemporary setting, nestled in the very heart of West Hollywood close to the restaurants and specialty stores of 8000 Sunset Boulevard, this unit serves as both a testament to La Fontaine's timelessness and creative sanctuary for this city's restless minds.
