Description

Set high in the Silver Lake hills, this striking Craftsman residence beautifully marries vintage charm with modern updates. Up past the manicured garden, a Saltillo-tiled enclosed sun porch leads to the main living space, a 2 bed, 2.5 bath light-filled home brimming with character, offering thoughtful details at every turn. Through the back atrium, find a detached studio with its own full bathroom surrounded by new landscaping, pergola-covered outdoor dining, and a romantic gazebo with a built-in hot tub. The front living room is bathed in natural light from plentiful windows centered around a cozy fireplace. Adjacent is a formal dining room that flows effortlessly into a stunning glass-paneled atrium, perfect as a den or sunlit home office. The kitchen has been tastefully refreshed with painted cabinetry, matte black pulls, refinished floors, and stainless steel appliances. A laundry area with a stacked washer/dryer, mudroom, powder bath, and extra storage cabinets adds everyday functionality. The front bedroom features its own separate entrance, perfect for guests, and offers large windows, a built-in drop-down desk, and an updated ensuite bath with a spacious shower. The second bedroom, ideal as the primary, sits at the rear of the main home, with romantic French doors that open to a generous deck. Down its own private hallway, you'll also find a full bath with penny tile floors, a linen closet, and an oversized storage closet. The home's showstopper is a vaulted, windowed atrium, with French doors opening to the backyard. Newly landscaped, fenced, and hedged, with an intimate dining area and mature plantings, the backyard is a true retreat. Additionally, find an elevated terrace with a built-in spa and seating area. At the rear of the property, a detached studio offers even more flexibility with an open floor plan, kitchenette, full bath, walk-in closet, and loft space. Every inch of this home is smartly used, including a whimsical fully finished bonus attic space with A-frame ceilings, vinyl plank floors with recessed closets, and peekaboo views of the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory. The property's additional features include a single-car garage, a tankless water heater, and a Nest thermostat. Located near some of L.A.'s most beloved spots, you're minutes from exploring the shops and eateries of Echo Park and Silver Lake, including Greekman's, Cafe Nido, and Bodega Park. Whether you're lounging in the sunroom or dining under the stars, this Craftsman gem delivers charm, functionality, and that signature California lifestyle.
