Description

Perched atop a lush knoll, this enchanting 1949 Treehouse is seemingly cradled by rolling emerald hillsides--its gloriously blooming lot is a private oasis of dappled sunlight and whispering leaves. Hidden behind a secret garden, this warm retreat feels like a dream carved into the landscape--yet just beyond the treetops sits everything that makes Silver Lake so desirable and special. Here, nature and city life entwine in perfect harmony, creating a sanctuary that is as tranquil as it is breathtaking. Pass through the ivy and wildflower draped gate and follow the gentle path to explore a wild symphony of citrus, olive trees and California natives. As you approach the front door, the home's storybook facade greets you with rich wood detailing and a welcoming front porch from a bygone era that promises quiet mornings with tea and twilight conversations under a canopy of leaves. Inside, the past and present come together beautifully. Restored original wood floors lead visitors through open and airy spaces with dreamy hillside views, while vintage wood-framed windows flood the home with natural light. Beyond the living room is the cheerful dining room that invites guests to linger for a meal, or step through the French doors to dine al fresco surrounded by the magnificent garden. The modern yet timeless kitchen is a jewel box of artistry and function featuring custom cabinets, marble countertops and whimsical Zia tile that enhances the character of this vintage beauty. Past the kitchen is the pantry and laundry closet which are both fully integrated into the space, and a full guest bath. Through the hallway are lovely built-in armoires and a guest bedroom with an ample built-in closet. The primary suite offers a full bath with a cast iron tub, playful vintage tile and generous built-in storage. Downstairs, the possibilities are endless. With its own private entrance and tucked away from the main house is the large, light-filled bonus room that's ready to be used as a guesthouse, ADU or studio. Outside the landscape unfurls like a verdant dream with multiple areas for quiet conversations or festive gatherings under the stars. Featuring an almost unheard of 2-car garage with extra spots in the driveway, all new systems including HVAC, roof, 200-amp panel and plumbing, this exquisite home blends timeless craftsmanship with modern comfort and seamless indoor-outdoor living. Every corner of this home tells a story of artisans who shaped each detail, of L.A. history that lingers in its walls. Though this secluded retreat feels worlds away, it's just minutes from the Meadows, Reservoir, shops, cafes, eateries, Whole Foods, Erewhon, Los Feliz and DTLA. A rare find, this home is a true sanctuary of beauty and tranquility that eagerly awaits its next adoring guardians.
