Silver Lake “Je ne sais quoi”

A certain "je ne sais quoi" permeates this two-story residence in Silver Lake. Inside, you're greeted by a poetic glow of natural light streaming through expansive windows that frame views of the Silver Lake Reservoir, Griffith Park Observatory, the Hollywood sign, and the lush, verdant surroundings. Original art and curated finds lend themselves to an interior sensibility that embraces the essence of wabi-sabi and modern living. The main level holds the living room, dining area, and kitchen in an open layout cleverly delineated by a built-in bookshelf, interior staircase, and cleverly placed furniture. The living room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, a Malm-style fireplace, and direct access to a private terrace with wisteria climbing the facade and draping over the railings that bloom purple flowers in the Spring. The kitchen with access to the front patio and rear garden features beautiful wood accents and an adjacent dining room, allowing for seamless entertaining. Two bedrooms and a bathroom complete this level. The lower level holds a unique suite. There's a spacious bedroom with large windows framing the green scenery of the outdoors, a walk-in closet, an office nook, and a laundry room. Within the bathroom, there's a potter's wheel where you can spend hours practicing centering clay. Outside, the gently terraced yard begins with a patio lined with handmade Mexican tile and string lights overhead. The owners say dining and entertaining out here feels like a little piece of Italy in Silver Lake. Beyond these grounds, you can enjoy the nearby restaurants, boutique shops, and parks, all just moments away.
