$600,000 A Month Lease: Want To Buy 17 Bedroom, 29 Bathroom-Mansion? [VIDEO]

Can you afford a $600,000 a month lease?

Well, if you can, head to Beverly Hills, Calif., to bask in the glory of having a 3.7-acre Mediterranean-style Beverly House at your disposal. According to the Los Angeles Times, the mansion with a $600,000 a month lease, listed at one point on the local Multiple Listing Service for $165 million, was built by local banker Milton Getz in the 1920s but is more commonly remembered for its former residents, including publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst and actress Marion Davies. It also even served as a honeymoon spot for Jacqueline and former U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

Scenes from the mansion have even been used in high-profile films, such as "The Godfather" and "The Bodyguard."

In his 30 years of selling real estate on the Westside, listing agent Jeffry Hyland of Hilton and Hyland Real Estate said it's the most expensive offer that he has ever seen.

The fourth owner of the mansion, attorney-investor Leonard Ross, has spent more than three and a half decades in the house, spending massive amounts on maintenance, restoration, expansion and upgrades, adding more than 20,000 square feet of living space on four levels.

"It has been a labor of love," Ross said in an interview with the Times several years ago. "This is not a spec house."

The 50-foot entry hall of the mansion, which looks out onto a series of gardens, fountains and a pool, gives way to a 22-foot-tall formal living room that not only has served as a party space over the decades, but also as a theater designed by Davies and Hearst with a drop-down screen and built-in projection portals. The living room was the site several years ago of a 60-person sit-down dinner for Prince Albert II of Monaco.

The nearby billiards room is described as a more "intimate" space with a coffered wood ceiling, a fireplace surround moved down from Hearst Castle in San Simeon and an 1888 Brunswick pool table.

The heart of the mansion's original rooms is the two-story library, lined with wooden shelves on both levels and a wrap-around walkway with a railing above. Extra-thick glass windows allow light into the room but keep out all sound.

The wing of the house that Ross added creates an overall H-shaped footprint and includes carved glass and mirrors as well as a bar from Hugh Hefner's now-defunct club Touch.

A central hallway large enough to hold two bowling lanes connects wings of family bedrooms and staff quarters located upstairs.

The mansion has 17 bedrooms and a full 29 bathrooms.
