For anyone seeking the classic craftsman style with modern updates and serious charm, look no further than 3324 Descanso Drive in Silver Lake. Built way back in 1922, it celebrated its centennial birthday just last year! Recently redesigned and updated by Los Angeles design firm bettershelter, the three bedroom home has style to spare, breathtaking downtown views, excellent outdoor spaces, and history just outside your front door at the legendary Music Box Steps.
I’m a front porch person, and this home has an awesome front patio with beautiful tiles, freshly painted trim, and wood beamed overhang for protection from all the recent rain so you can relax in this perfect spot all year round and watch the world go by.
The home has old world character with tasteful new finishes. The house features three spacious bedrooms plus an office and two updated bathrooms.
The open plan layout includes a swanky yet cozy living room with a great picture window facing the front porch. A dining area just off the kitchen offers a warm and welcoming area for family dinners.
The sleek and stylish kitchen has a nice little breakfast area with amazing views that stretch over the Silver Lake hillside all the way to Downtown Los Angeles.
The kitchen is just perfectly designed with a large eat-in center island that provides plenty of counter space, storage, and a crisp of-the-moment style with deep blue green cabinetry, brass gold fixtures and hardware, and top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances.
The first of three bedrooms you might mistake for the primary. But, no. This spacious room with hardwood floors and brilliant natural light is just the first of your two guest bedrooms.
The second guest bedroom similarly has great picture windows with charming neighborhood views.
The home’s first of two bathrooms is really dreamy, all updated with luxury finishes yet it maintains that ideal vintage craftsman charm of the 1920s when the home was built. Counters and gold finishes evoke the kitchen’s, while the black hexagonal floor tiles and black subway tile trim in the bath add a Bohemian vibe to the space.
Head downstairs and you’ll find the massive primary suite.
The suite has its own private with wraparound porch.
And beautifully remodeled en suite bathroom with duel sinks.
There’s also a laundry room and a bonus office space on the ground floor with easy access to the outside through a pair of French doors.
The custom-designed wood decks are the ultimate outdoor retreat.
The outdoor deck above would be an awesome outdoor space for any home, but this property has several more, including this gigantic wood deck that is excellent for entertaining.
Head deeper and find a trellis, raised planter boxes, lush landscaping, and multiple seating areas. Plus an impressive collection of fruit trees, including kumquat, Meyer lemon, key lime, fig, tangerine, apple, and Asian pear. The garden is basically your own private orchard.
Located just up the street near restaurants and cafes in the neighborhood like All Day Baby and Cafe Stella, you’ll never be far from your favorite cup of coffee or a fun happy hour. 3324 Descanso is really the perfect combination of authentic 1920s craftsman charm with all the chic and stylish modern updates of 2023. Happy Birthday, 3324 Descanso Drive! 100 looks good on you.
