About this home

Nestled in the heart of Silver Lake, this timeless craftsman blends classic character with thoughtful modern updates just moments from the energy of Sunset Boulevard. The home carries a rare and storied past. In 1935, owner Laura D. Misson relocated it from Hollywood to its current setting, imbuing the property with a sense of history that's genuinely hard to find. Original architectural details remain beautifully intact throughout: graceful archways, delicate plaster work, and a charming faux fireplace that anchors the home with warmth. Behind a welcoming front porch, the bungalow unfolds with ease. The spacious living room is flooded with natural light through a generous bay window, while the dining room is made for entertaining, complete with handsome storage benches and a display shelf. The beautifully updated kitchen strikes the perfect balance of style and function, equally suited to quiet weeknight dinners and effortless gatherings. Both bathrooms have been tastefully renovated the primary bath in particular feels like a private retreat, with moody, spa-like finishes: quietly luxurious. The primary bedroom features a spacious walk-in closet with washer/dryer and customizable Container Store closet system. Thoughtful design moments carry throughout: gorgeous Nickey Kehoe lighting and hardware, and original crystal doorknobs that catch the light just so. Outside, mature (and low maintenance!) landscaping creates a serene and private setting with room to relax, dine, or simply breathe. Enjoy the mature lemon and plumeria trees, and more lush greenery. The converted garage is a standout, functioning beautifully as an art studio or work-from-home space, with custom wood carriage doors that swing open to flood the space with light and air. And the lot itself is a genuine rarity: largely flat and fully usable, offering a true backyard experience that's increasingly hard to come by in Silver Lake. Updated systems are the cherry on top: newer central HVAC, newer roof, foundation updates and seismic retrofitting, upgraded plumbing and electrical. Walkability here is exceptional. Start mornings at Cafe Tropical, grab lunch at Botanica, or meet friends for happy hour at L&E or Greekman's. Sunset Junction, Erewhon, and the eclectic mix of boutiques, coffee shops, and dining along Sunset are all just blocks away. With so much beauty to enjoy, this gorgeous home is chic, full of soul, and convenient to everything.
