Sunny architectural gem in the coveted Silver Lake hills, designed by Steven Hill, known for his artful and playful minimalist hillside homes. The house embodies the design ethos of its time: soaring ceilings, walls of glass brick, warm wood details, built-in cabinetry and a multilevel floor plan. Functionality and timeless design meet in 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms with a layout that connects open communal areas and private spaces seamlessly. Inside, light and optimism reach every corner, cheerful painted green handrails pop against wooden doors and gallery-like walls. West-facing windows frame views of the iconic Hollywood Hills and Griffith Park. The sunny kitchen features Thermador appliances, custom cabinetry, ample counter space and direct access to a delightful barbecue deck with steps to the yard and studio. In the primary suite, an oversized walk-in closet with custom ELFA shelving and a spa-like bathroom with soaking tub. The separate studio, with access from an upstairs deck, is ready for your next screenplay, your pilates reformer, or to join Zoom calls in peace. A terraced yard with view decks offer a surprising retreat, a flat upper green space calls for a cedar soaking tub and garden boxes. Balconies off of the living and dining rooms invite the outdoors and fresh air in, with breathtaking mountain and sunset views from every window. Thoughtfully reimagined in 2022, with designer details including Heath Ceramic tile, Concrete Collaborative terrazzo, Farrow & Ball paint, Nood concrete sinks, Boxi SemiHandmade sustainable cabinetry (made of recycled water bottles!) and custom millwork. Major systems upgraded include roof replacement (2021), water heater replacement (2021), upgraded electrical panel and EV charger installation (2022), sewer line repairs (2023), Culligan water filtration system and smart home features throughout. Close to downtown LA, studios, hiking trails and the Silver Lake Reservoir, walking distance to shopping and cafes. Ivanhoe Elementary district. With so much to enjoy in one place, this is a happy house ready to inspire creativity and calm.
