Lake Home For Sale

Captivating Silver Lake Reservoir home on spacious lot! First time on the market since 1958, this rare gem is in Silver Lake's most walkable, convenient location. Just 5 houses away from the lake's pedestrian path, this quiet, sunny home has quick access to Whole Foods, Ivanhoe Elementary, restaurants, and the Silver Lake Library. Easy access to numerous freeways and bus connections. The generous 9,000+ sq ft lot has an elevated view of the street plus space for an ADU, home expansion or just stretching out under the stars. Lovely fruit trees (lemon, tangerine, grapefruit) make the garden a sweet oasis. Built in 1938, the 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath house features a charming kitchen with quartz countertop and subway tile accents, remodeled bathrooms, hardwood floors, laundry room with high-efficiency appliances, new interior paint, and vintage touches such as coved ceilings and built-in hutches and bookshelves. A breakfast room adjacent to the kitchen could be a great home office or even a guest bedroom while retaining the original two-bedroom configuration. A natural light-filled, enclosed rear interior patio is perfect as a cozy reading spot, art studio or exercise room. A 2-car garage (less common in Silver Lake) provides safe off-street parking. Silver Lake has rich literary and film history. Famed writer Charles Bukowski once lived in the house next door. Actors Ryan Gosling, Chris Pine and Rachel McAdams have made their homes in the area, and Judy Garland's childhood home is just up the street. This is a truly special property not to be missed.
