Villa Silver Lake
SILVER LAKE, LOS ANGELES, CA
3 BR | 2.5 BA | SLEEPS 4
The owners say that the view is the first wow factor of this home, and the Silver Lake Reservoir glimpses – from the hills to the snow-capped mountains in the winter – are quite profound.
But let’s back up to curvy facade and the smoked glass front door, and fully appreciate this home as the architectural nesting doll that its is, opening up into cool new details with every step. We love the details here, from the burl wood dining table and the cantilever chairs to the fluted fireplace and persimmon-red velvet sofa. And that horseshoe-shaped dining nook… Make a gin seltzer in the moody wet bar (with instant cold and seltzer water on tap) while listening to a classic rock record on the turntable (the vinyl collection is 300+ deep). Garnish it with a lime wedge from one of the fruit trees outside.
This home has three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, and can accommodate up to four people. In the en-suite master, you’ll find a queen bed, and the two other bedrooms have single beds, with a Jack and Jill bathroom in the middle.
Worthy of a home design editorial, the dwelling has two wood-burning fireplaces and a fully-equipped chef’s kitchen with a five-burner cooktop, dual convection oven and steam oven, dishwasher, large refrigerator and all of the tools needed to make wonderful meals out of California's famous produce.
Use your phone to Airplay throughout the sound system that runs throughout the house, including the backyard. Watch movies on the 55” flat screen television above the fireplace in the family room. The home is equipped with fast internet and WiFi, both indoors and out.
For alfresco family dinners in the year-round sun, there is a gas barbecue grill and dining table that seats eight. For chillier evenings, we recommend gathering around the gas fire pit. And any day is ideal for swaying in the hammock with a good book.
