About This Home

As of October 2014

Located in the heart of Silver Lake but on one of its quietest streets, this 1930 Spanish home is replete with original detail. Upstairs are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including an en-suite master with French doors that open to a balcony and views of the hills. Downstairs, through it's own entrance, is either a 3rd bedroom with a 3/4 bath or a perfect studio/office retreat that opens to a stunning Redwood deck, ideal for entertaining, alfresco dining or viewing the fireworks from Dodger stadium. The large grounds are host to a small orchard; lemon, lime, orange, pear and avocado trees. 2 blocks from Sunset Blvd. and Silver Lake Blvd, it's the best that Silver Lake has to offer, while being tucked away on a quiet circle. How life in Silver lake is meant to be.
