This elegant and private Hamptons style farmhouse sits perched on an elevated lot in Silver Lake North of Sunset. Classic finishings, lush gardens, plenty of gorgeous bookcase built-ins, and patio space with lovely views abounds. A perfect home for the growing family or modern artists alike!
Built in 1917 with a timeless design and skillfully restored to new and contemporary heights, this home features one my favorite must-haves: the large front porch. Whether you’re entertaining guests or having a quiet cup of coffee before work, this spacious porch will be a true delight.
Once inside you will be greeted by a grand stairway entryway. The living room is made for the modern aesthete: a library of built-in bookcases, hardwood floors, French doors to the gardens, recessed lighting, chic standout fireplace, and windows offering lots of bright light ideal for reading.
The cook’s kitchen boasts immaculate butcher block countertops providing a great deal of counter space, white custom cabinetry, both stainless and vintage appliances, and a barn sink with a backyard view.
The formal dining room has crown molding and drawer and counter space great for storage of fine china, displays of fresh flowers, or a bar area.
The exquisite and richly detailed home office offers more built-in book cases making this home truly a book lovers dream!
The master suite upstairs contains beech wood floors, gorgeous built-in headboard and armoire, and a large and an en suite bath with double vanity, beautifully tiled backsplash and walk-in shower.
Also, easy access to the second story balcony overlooking the Silver Lake hills.
Three more rooms on the second level, two of them with balcony space, can be used as bedrooms, artist studios, work out rooms, music space. You name it.
Outside, the home offers tranquility, and most importantly privacy. A trellis creates a flawless space for outdoor entertaining whether its brunches, birthdays, dinner parties, or just average Monday night supper.
Though the home is close to the bustling strip of Sunset that includes Silver Lake Ramen, Night + Market Song, Mohawk Bend, and so many more, the seclusion and peacefulness of the gardens will have you, your family, and friends feeling relaxed, decompressed, and right at home.
