About this home

Hidden behind a gated entrance on a quiet, palm-lined hillside, this beautifully updated 1920s Craftsman offers a rare combination of privacy, original character, flexible living space and exceptional outdoor areas at the meeting point of Silver Lake and Echo Park. The approximately 2,026-square-foot property includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms in total, arranged as a three-bedroom, two-bath main residence plus a separate one-bedroom, one-bath guest suite with its own private entrance and kitchenette. This flexible configuration provides natural separation for visiting guests, a home office, creative studio or other work-from-home needs. Abundant windows fill the main house with natural light, while dark hardwood floors, crown molding and clean contemporary finishes create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The updated kitchen features distinctive dark cabinetry, expansive white countertops, stainless-steel appliances, a double sink beneath a wall of windows, and generous storage and preparation space. The appliance package includes a refrigerator, range/oven, microwave, dishwasher and garbage disposal. Open living and dining areas provide plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing and working from home. Additional interior highlights include central air and heat, in-unit laundry, a fireplace and a built-in home-theater setup with a projector, retractable screen and speakers. The bathrooms feature extensive tilework and modern fixtures, including a striking stone-tiled bathroom with a glass-enclosed shower and separate tub. Situated apart from the principal living areas, the private guest suite includes its own entrance, living and sleeping space, kitchenette and full bathroom, along with direct access to the rear deck. It works equally well as private guest quarters, a home office or a studio. Outdoor living is one of the property's defining features. A covered front porch overlooks a landscaped lawn, while the rear of the property offers a large shaded deck beneath mature trees, an additional lower patio and firepit area, established gardens, fruit trees, and multiple spaces for outdoor dining, entertaining or simply enjoying the California weather. Mature landscaping and the gated setting create a sense of privacy that is difficult to find so close to the center of the city. One gated off-street driveway parking space is included. The home is located in a quiet residential pocket close to the restaurants, cafes, shops and nightlife along Sunset Boulevard. Silver Lake Reservoir and its city-operated dog park are nearby, along with Echo Park Lake, Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium, Downtown Los Angeles and Griffith Park. Convenient access to the 101, 2 and 5 freeways makes it easy to reach Downtown, Hollywood, Los Feliz, Pasadena and other parts of Los Angeles. Unfurnished. Available for a one-year or longer lease.
