Anyone can actually live without paying for the down payment for the Hillside Home in L.A. of an oil heir Balthazar Getty. The Actor and heir to the Getty Oil Fortune have put the place up for rent just five months after his attempt to sell it. The rent cost is a mere $35,000 a month.
While most of Getty's fortune might come from oil, he gained fame from acting - and affairs. He played the role as Tommy Walker in "Brothers & Sisters" and Thomas Grace as field agent on "Alias," and he gained publicity from his affair with actress Sienna Miller.
According to Realtor, the six-bedroom, 6,000-square-foot home of the actor was listed on the market for $10.25 million (with a reduction of $250,000 from its original price). Why spend that huge amount if you can live there for a monthly rent of only $35,000. With this amount you live in a fortified compound with clean lines, panoramic views, highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows throughout, some of which is open, allowing occupants to enjoy indoor-outdoor living.
The glamour and elegance of the house extends to the backyard, which features a beautiful landscape which is outfitted with multiple terraces, drought resistant plants, and a swimming pool to create the ultimate ambiance around the property.
Realtor also added that the house of oil heir Balthazar Getty on the Hillside in L.A. is a gated compound set on a rare and extraordinary flat ridge overlooking the entire LA Basin from east of downtown to the ocean. It took three years to create this unique estate with attention to details, design, spectacular scale, and high quality finishes.
This hillside home features large open space which is flooded with natural light, high ceilings throughout with expansive walls and light wood floors. The formal living room of the house features floor to ceiling bookcases and a fireplace. The five bedrooms are all open to wraparound view terraces.
