The Enchanted Manor in Los Angeles by Georgia Durante Hi!! My name is Georgia Durante. I am a Stunt Driver and the author of 'The Company She Keeps' (my autobiography) which has recently been optioned by Sony for a Netflix series. I purchased my property in 1983 and it has been an ongoing labor of love every since. Over the years I have put in over a million dollars, creating a magical paradise. The original size of the home was 2800 sq. ft. It is now 5000 sq. ft. I am 72 years old and I have adopted a baby girl in 2006. I have elected to stay at home and be a mom. Renting my property is a way of making an income that allows me to be at home rather than on location. I have built a play house and tree house on the property (inspired by my daughter) which is a real plus for renters with young children. The Playhouse is a mini version of the main house with a river rock exterior, bay windows, skylights, custom-made child-size leather couch, bunk beds, cable TV, phone line, fireplace, and a camera system to monitor the children from inside the house. It has its own patio with a child-size umbrella table. It truly is a child's wonderland. People come here as strangers and leave as friends. I live on the property, but your privacy is respected. You will never see me unless you want to. I am available 24 hours a day to help to make your stay an enjoyable adventure. Why they chose this propertyThis property is centrally located to many attractions in the Los Angeles area. Just blocks from the 101 and 405 freeways. I love the quiet of the cul de sac street and the LA River behind the property is a great buffer for any street noise. It's in the middle of all that LA has to offer, yet you feel like your on your own private Island. People come just to relax around the pool and jacuzzi with 3 waterfalls, or have business meetings around the fire pit or gazebo bar. It's a serene tropical atmosphere. It's romantic for couples and a disneyland for kids. It has it all! What makes this property uniqueIn this cozy magical creation, I enjoy having friends over to cook out and sit around the fire pit with a glass of wine when I don't have guest. The jacuzzi usually gets utilized before the night is over. The entire back yard is lit with lights in all the trees and vapor lights that looks like you are walking under dappled moon light. The pool lights change colors every few minutes. It's eye candy for all my guest. It feels like a fairyland. I am a writer. I can not ask for a better environment to write. It's so peaceful here. No need to ever go out. It's all right here. You'll find it difficult to leave the property to go sightseeing. If you book a week or longer, I give you an autographed copy of my book and a few other goodie when you leave.
