1935 Silverlake Sanctuary w/Offices, Jacuzzi & Griffith Observatory Views

Description

Sited on the most desirable street in the coveted Moreno Highlands of Silverlake, this lovely 1935 Spanish Colonial home unites historic architecture with premium amenities. This fully furnished 2-bed, 1.5-bath oasis features an eclectic, vintage-centric luxury aesthetic. The ground floor has original peg-and-groove hardwood floors leading into a stunning sunken living room with soaring, vaulted wood-beam ceilings and sliding glass doors framing the hills and city lights. Step out onto the expansive upper deck for a morning coffee facing the neighboring hills and the historic Griffith Park Observatory. The home offers two workspaces: a permanent desk by a large window in the living room and a dedicated sunroom study upstairs off the primary bedroom. An elegant staircase featuring an original 1935 leaded stained-glass window bathes the landing in warm, colorful light. Upstairs, both bright bedrooms have stunning views. The primary bedroom features a King-size premium Ortho Mattress Heritage collection bed. The sunroom study is equipped with an ergonomic chair and a wood-top desk with integrated storage, providing a private sanctuary perfect for writing during L.A.'s mild spring/autumn months. The second bedroom is a sun-drenched beauty wrapped in windows on three sides, featuring an elegant archway alcove and boutique-hotel styling. The bathrooms are design highlights. The upstairs bathroom is a meticulously preserved Art Deco gem with original pink/teal tile, custom wood vanity, glass-door shower, and pink bathtub. The remodeled downstairs half-bath is an eclectic jewel box with a vibrant geometric accent wall, floating basin sink, and glamorous 1930s mirrored finishes. The highlight of the property is its expansive 7,339-sq-ft lot. A second, redwood deck features a relaxing Jacuzzi, perfect for relaxing at days end. Stroll down into a lush, three-level terraced yard with an organic garden producing Swiss Chard and Kale. Seasonally, there are lilies, hollyhocks, irises, and fruit trees producing tangerines, lemons, and kumquats. This birder's paradise attracts dozens of species: songbirds, owls, night herons, Hooded Orioles, and Western Tanagers! In spring when the Orchid Tree blooms, watch local hummingbirds gather nectar from your perch on the Chesterfield sofa in the living room! Unlike most hillside properties, parking and storage are effortless: • Driveway: Exclusive use of the private driveway (1 car). Street parking is very easy with no street cleaning restrictions. • Garage: Attached 2-car garage houses one covered owner's vehicle, leaving a generous 131+ sq ft zone for tenant storage. • Basement: Laundry room with washer and deep utility sink; adjacent room provides 125 sq ft of tenant storage alongside the dryer. Wonderful for walking, the neighborhood features historic public staircases and easy access to the Reservoir, boutiques, grocers, and a celebrated dining scene.
