This incredible property is unlike anything else you will see in Silver Lake, and possibly anywhere East of the 101 for that matter. It’s truly an amazing, one-of-a-kind estate that is only rivaled by maybe the Paramour Estate and John Lautner’s Silvertop, which are located nearby.

One thing that must be said right away is that the views from nearly every vantage point are truly spectacular. From the reservoir to the mountains beyond, views really don’t get any better than this. I’ve toured dozens and dozens of homes around the reservoir over the years and the views from this home are seriously some of the absolute best views I’ve ever seen.

Maybe the reason 1844 Silverwood Terrace hasn’t been our radar yet because it’s making its market debut after being built over 30 years ago. It’s been in the same family ever since.

There’s also the fact that it’s essentially hidden from the rest of the world, up a long and winding private and gated driveway.

The hillside landscaping and wildlife is lush and lively.

Your 4.44 acres include tranquil gardens, plenty of land to expand and explore, a set of fully owned solar panels that help make this home green and eco-friendly, a heated pool, hot tub, Water fall, a tennis court and two 2 car garages. I’d have to do a bit of research but I think it might be the largest acreage for a single family home in the area. You’d have to go to Beverly Hills or Pasadena to find something like this.

Inside the home you will find an extraordinarily unique and eclectic home with bright colors and bold patterns.

The main living room has breathtaking vistas of the reservoir from a large, nearly wall-to-wall picture window. In fact, the entire home was built and customized to capture these vistas from each and every room.

The great cook’s kitchen has rows of skylights that provide plenty of sunshine, plus a wok station.

The open concept layout includes a dining room with easy outdoor entertaining access through a pair of French doors.

There’s also a sunny breakfast nook that also boasts outdoor access to the backyard and tennis courts.

An informal and sunken den is the perfect spot to unwind with family and friends by gathering around the fireplace (the house’s second, of three…) or by watching a movie on the flat screen television.

The wonderful master suite has more of those amazing reservoir views. The master feels like its at the very top of the Silver Lake hills. The home’s third fireplace can be found in this spacious and calming bedroom.

The distinctive and special en suite master bath has two sinks, a lot of storage, a soaking tub with whirlpool jets, and a huge walk-in shower with a skylight. And if you’re shy, no need to worry: the bath is surrounded by lush landscaping.

The second and third bedrooms each have patio access and reservoir views. Imagine being an overnight guest, waking up in the mornings, and swinging open those French doors to enjoy the unrivaled peace and privacy from this patio.

As can be expected on such a large property, there are many places to explore, entertain, and relax.

One such spot is this outdoor dining space that has unobstructed views of the reservoir. These views are legit.

The pool is exquisite and totally private. The property also comes with an original sculpture by renowned artist Peter Shire. If you don’t know Shire and his work he’s definitely worth looking up. Shire was born and is based in Echo Park and has been honored with numerous awards for his contribution to the cultural life of Los Angeles. Shire is closely associated with the Memphis Group of designers and, in fact, much of the design and aesthetics of 1844 Silverwood Terrace’s furniture, fabrics, ceramics, glass, and metal objects seem to be inspired or in conversation with that colorful and innovative artistic movement.

There’s also a charming waterfall and a decadent hot tub.

The property might just be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own nearly 5 whole acres in the Silver Lake hills. That’s basically unheard of. The Memphis Group designed and inspired home is a must-see for any buyers who are looking for a lot of land but who wish to remain on Los Angeles’s hip and happening east side.
