House hunting in Los Angeles

|

Seeking large, bright, airy house with 2-car garage for rent in quiet neighborhood. I have a cat (lazy) and a 6' grand piano that needs extra living room space. LOVE older houses and Craftsman-type houses, so if yours was built in the 1920's you have my attention!

Need 2 or more bedrooms -- mostly because anything smaller won't fit the piano and I need one room for a home office. I prefer hardwood floors. Seriously hoping for central air-conditioning (I've had window units for years and they're really not that efficient or cost-effective). Appliances are not necessary but will be appreciated if they come as part of the rental. I love to garden and can perform minor repairs such as electrical and plumbing, so I wouldn't be bothering you to change a light bulb or something silly like that. I'm clean, love to garden and will take good care of your property.

I am happily and gainfully employed with excellent references and credit. I insist on keeping renter's insurance (for your protection as well as mine) and I don't throw wild parties or do anything that might annoy the neighbors. I do play the piano, but only during reasonable hours.

I will be happy to sign a 6- or 12-month lease.

Hunting in Burbank, Toluca Lake, Studio City, Valley Village, Sherman Oaks, Hancock Park, Larchmont Village, Melrose, Hollywood Hills, Beachwood Canyon areas. Willing to check out Glendale/Pasadena as well. Would consider a duplex if it's big enough (and the neighbors are nice). Would also consider a warehouse-type loft (must have secure parking).

Send a comment or reply to this post if you're interested in an awesome tenant.

Ok, I’ve never done this before, but many of my friends have. The “12 of 12” project is a fun essay (see link) whereas on the 12th day of the month, you take 12 candid snapshots of whatever is in your life that day. Here’s mine for June of 2009. (hover cursor over each photo for description)
