Who wouldn’t want to live on a street named Electric? Of course, it is Electric Street and not Electric Avenue after the famous 1983 hit song by Eddy Grant. You know the song I mean, right? Anyway, this super stylish mid-century modern home is located on a quiet, private, and short street (it’s only a block long) in an amazing Silver Lake neighborhood, not far from the reservoir and just a few streets over from Whole Food 365. Let’s take a look inside. I think you will like what you’re about to find.
The three bedroom, two-story home was custom built by its original owner in the early 1960s and the unique care and vision in its design is apparent immediately as you enter. The property has also been totally updated so it’s pretty much the perfect combination of vintage mid-century modern and today’s most cutting edge style choices.
The home has a really great open floor plan with the living room, kitchen and dining area all connected. It is a bright and clean space with sharp lines and polished hardwood floors.
The kitchen is simple yet chic with eat-in dining, plenty of counter and cabinet space, stainless steel appliances, and amazing views of the Silver Lake hills.
The living room is the perfect spot to relax and lounge with family and friends.
The living room has a pair of sliders that lead out to a large entertaining deck that has incredible mountain and neighborhood views. I don’t know about you but I would like to have a sunset summer barbecue back here.
There is one bedroom with an en suite bath upstairs and two downstairs. The upstairs bedroom is the master suite and it includes a second deck that leads to the lower yard area.
The two bedrooms downstairs share a full bathroom that I’m pretty sure you are going to adore. We’ll get to that in a second.
The third bedroom also has outdoor access to a private deck.
Here’s the home’s full bath. It has a large mirror, two sinks, a floating mid-century vanity, and a luxurious soaking tub.
Plus, 2231 Electric Street has an indoor laundry area, bonus storage, and a workspace with separate entrance that is ideal for a home office.
The spacious home is also zoned for R2, so it would be possible to add an additional dwelling unit. There’s also this great two-car garage. And, no, I asked, the sale of the property will not include the car (or the surf boards).
But it will include this stock tank pool! These stock tank pools are basically impossible to find right now. (Seriously, google or Craigslist it, they are sold out everywhere!) and this stock tank pool comes fully operational with the filtration system already built-in. Imagine cooling off here once we enter the dog days of summer.
The backyard in general is absolutely dreamy. It’s a private little oasis with several places to relax, entertain, garden, and enjoy the numerous succulents and fruit trees planted on this amazing property.
I would love to show you this stylish mid-century modern home in Silver Lake. Call me today at (937) 243-2349 or email me at tatiana.tensen@sothebyshomes.com to schedule a visit.
