After a major overhaul and restoration over the past year or two, this stunning craftsman-style home in Silver Lake returns to the market looking as beautiful as ever.
The elegant craftsman-style home is elevated above the street on Golden Gate Avenue, one long block from Sunset Boulevard and probably one of my top three favorite Los Angeles restaurants: Pine and Crane.
The property boasts a nice, big grassy and enclosed front yard with multiple trees.
The dreamy covered front porch lines the length of the house. This is an excellent spot to enjoy the sunset vistas over Silver Lake.
The porch leads to a gorgeous living room that has been immaculately restored. The living room has solid oak hardwood floors, handcrafted and unpainted (!) moldings, built-ins, doors, and windows, plus a modern fireplace that retains some vintage elements like its brick facade and iron interior.
The sunny layout includes a nice office space or possibly a second sitting or entertaining area.
The formal dining room is absolutely lovely with its dark unpainted built-ins and moldings and stylish modern light fixtures. The dining room is just off the kitchen and includes a smart banquette counter for bar dining (or drinking).
The kitchen is brand new and you can tell. It’s pristine. But while it’s brand new it’s been redone in a timeless vintage style with floor-to-ceiling tile work, top-of-the-kine stainless steel appliances. There’s also a pantry and plenty of storage.
In addition to the main living space there’s also a family room/den.
The first of the four bedrooms is located downstairs and has its own separate entrance.
The other three bedrooms are all upstairs including this luxe master suite that has soaring vaulted ceilings, a wonderful private balcony with amazing hillside views.
The chic en suite master bath has floor-to-ceiling tile, two sinks, both closed and open storage, a large walk-in shower, and gold fixtures.
The next two bedrooms have similarly been fashionably redone with ultramodern lighting fixtures.
And each of the bedrooms have their own private en suite baths.
The home’s outdoor spaces offer several spots to entertain. Looking at it now it’s hard to believe just two years this was essentially a blank space.
Now, everything’s new, even the luxurious pool and the massive resort-style pool deck.
It all screams Sunday pool parties or al fresco evening soirees any night of the week.
Besides Pine and Crane, you will be just a stone’s throw from all of the great spots in Sunset Junction including Cliff’s Edge, Intelligentsia Coffee, Cafe Stella, The Black Cat, the upcoming Tartine location, plus lots of shops like Parachute and Dr. Marten, the convenience of the Yummy.com market, and several good schools nearby.
1658 Golden Gate Avenue is a masterclass craftsman restoration where absolutely every detail has been rehabilitated exactly right.
