Overview

First impressions of this unique cantilevered mid century home leave passersby wondering what lies beyond its striking facade. An impressive frontage spanning over 170 feet features a semi-circular driveway, two-car carport and lush garden with mature trees and vegetation. Entering the home, guests are met with a stunning panorama of the Silver Lake reservoir and surrounding hills. The open kitchen and dining areas overlook the same iconic views through floor-to-ceiling Fleetwood glass and sliding doors that open onto a deck - one of several outdoor patios that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living. Exposed beams and white maple floors continue through the first level with two bedrooms offering private balcony access, custom built-ins and updated bathrooms with floated vanities. The second level boasts a spacious suite with room for additional seating, expansive glass walls, walk-in closet and a versatile fourth bedroom that could easily double as an office, all opening up to a sprawling entertainers deck crafted from redwood. A delightful surprise awaits on the third level, where a tiered landscaped garden leads to a private yard (with room for a pool,) nestled amidst hedges and shaded by a majestic pine tree. Here, a bonus light-filled, sound proofed junior studio complete with kitchenette, full bath and an outdoor patio offers a tranquil retreat for guests. The home has been meticulously maintained. Unseen improvements including updated electrical and plumbing, newer dual-zone HVAC, tankless water heater and reinforced decks on all levels, speak to the care and attention to detail that has preserved this architectural gem. Additional storage space in the basement and carport provide practical convenience without compromising the beauty of the homes design. This one of kind residence encapsulates quintessential Los Angeles living from its striking architectural lines, mid-century allure and prime positioning overlooking the reservoir. Mesmerizing sunset backdrops and thoughtful design await its new residents.
