Bette Davis Eye's....Rumored to be Bette Davis's Holiday retreat by neighbors, just up the street from the Frank Sinatra Estate in Historic Ruth Hardy Park/Movie Colony neighborhood. Remodeled 1936 Charmer but with the old Hollywood feel. Beautifully updated large Chef's Kitchen with mosaic tiles, abundant cabinet space, remodeled baths, newer double pane windows, A/C, flooring, Dramatic Beam ceilings, stacked stone fireplace, bonus Sun Room opens to intimate patio w/ a "I Love Lucy" BBQ, draped w/ fruit trees. Private front yard surrounded by ficus hedge, it's your own private Estate. Feel like a Movie Star soaking in the Spa watching the sunset go down. Just a very short distance from the heart of Downtown, Street fair and Restaurants. Way too much to list.
