About this home

Set in the Silver Lake hills, this architectural three-bed, three-bath residence pairs sweeping city views with warm contemporary finishes, abundant natural light, and exceptional indoor/outdoor living. Built in 2022 and one of only five single-family homes in a tranquil architectural community, the residence is oriented to capture more than 180 degrees of panoramic views across the Silver Lake Reservoir, Downtown Los Angeles, the Griffith Park Observatory, and surrounding hillsides. Soaring ceilings, dramatic walls of glass, thoughtfully landscaped grounds, a generous primary suite with private balcony, an expansive rooftop deck, and an oversized direct-entry two-car garage create a private hillside retreat in the heart of Silver Lake. A pedestrian gate at the rear of the property on Waverly opens to beautifully landscaped grounds, creating a lush and private approach to the home. A full wall of glass introduces the main living level, where a convenient powder room is tucked just off the foyer before soaring ceilings and generous proportions give way to distinct living and dining areas. The beautifully appointed kitchen features a large eat-in island, abundant cabinetry, and Bertazzoni appliances, while oversized sliding glass doors open to a private wraparound patio, extending the living spaces outdoors and framing views of the garden and city beyond. An oversized two-car garage provides an additional point of entry with direct access into the residence, along with a designated laundry area and generous storage. The bedroom level features all three bedrooms and two bathrooms, creating a comfortable separation from the main entertaining spaces. The spacious primary suite includes a large walk-in closet, a private balcony overlooking the landscaped grounds, and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities and a glass-enclosed shower positioned to take in the view. Two additional bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office. Above, an expansive rooftop deck provides a standout setting for outdoor dining, lounging, and entertaining, with panoramic vistas stretching across the Silver Lake Reservoir toward Downtown Los Angeles. Additional features include a designated laundry area, generous storage, a direct-entry garage, and multiple landscaped outdoor spaces that connect the home to its hillside surroundings. Ideally located near the restaurants, cafes, and shops along Hyperion and Rowena Avenues, including neighborhood favorites such as Blair's, Makisupa, Edendale, and Broome Street General Store, the home is also convenient to the Silver Lake Reservoir, Griffith Park, and Ivanhoe Elementary School. With expansive views, generous outdoor spaces, and a private architectural setting, this modern residence captures the best of hillside living in Silver Lake.
