Lately I’ve been wondering about what the perfect Silver Lake duplex would look like. Which architectural style lends itself best to duplex-style living? Modernist, mid-century, Spanish, Traditional? Should each unit have two bedrooms? Would it be above above the reservoir or closer to the Junction? North of Sunset or south? Then I discovered this modernist hillside Silver Lake duplex and all my questions were answered.
Designed by a protege of master Los Angeles architect R.M. Schindler, Edward Richard Lind, this home was his lifelong family residence and he built it so it would perfectly capture the stunning views in every direction. The main house is a two story wonder, with 3 bedrooms and two bathrooms and an open living and dining layout.
The quaint kitchen at the front of the home overlooks the front yard, blocked in by tall privacy hedges.
You’ll love the home’s many surviving vintage details including built-in cabinetry, sliding shoji door, and floor-to-ceiling glass panes that let in plenty of unobstructed light.
Upstairs are three bedrooms with large windows, wood beamed ceilings, and amazing hillside views.
Though your favorite part of the home may be the serene views offered by the main house’s spacious patio deck. Whether you’re entertaining friends and family or just simply need a calming view of the Griffith Observatory at night you will feel like you’re at the very top of all of Silver Lake.
Downstairs you’ll find the lovely second unit ideal as a rental, Airbnb, or guest quarters. Look at that charming patio area. With views of the Griffith Observatory it’s perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails.
The one bedroom, one bathroom space features wrap around floor to ceiling windows and hardwood floors.
Plus a lower unit bonus space with a wraparound porch and exposed wood beam ceilings, that could be used as an office, artists studio, or yoga retreat.
