About This Home
As of August 2017Rare opportunity to acquire a stunning Japanese-inspired traditional home on an estate sized third of an acre lot in prime Silver Lake. The property is phenomenal; the home sits on a sunny, elevated lot, affording treetop views from virtually every window. The park-like backyard has plenty of room for a pool, and is punctuated with mature foliage. The four-bedroom, three-bath residence is loaded with character. The living room features rows of windows and a wonderful exposed brick fireplace, the kitchen has been redone with period-sensitive finishes, and a romantic covered porch overlooks the vast grounds. There is a fourth bedroom-office on the main level as well. Upstairs there are three large bedrooms - one with stunning original wood paneling. All have verdant greenbelt views. Looking for a chic home close to Silver Lake and Echo Park's cafes, restaurants, and nightlife? This is it.
