Silver Lake Modern


3 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom
List Price: $1,129,000

This post and beam modern home on a hill, in Silver Lake, kinda has a tree house feel to it.  This tri-level, nestled within a mature landscape, is beset by mountain and city views.  The pitched ceiling, balconies, ample windows, and open floor plan create a serene, airy setting–a luxury for most, especially claustrophobes!

This home was originally designed by Tomas Hernandez.  It was then “re-interpreted” by John Sofio from BUILT, Inc.  You Silver Lakers may be familiar with BUILT.  Established in 1996, and formerly located in the space where YOLK is now, BUILT is a design build firm that focuses on American modern design.  Architect and founder of BUILT, Sofio, is also known for his sleek, steel-and-vinyl furniture.

Welcome to Silver Lake living at it’s finest.  When it comes to homes that were built in this time period, I always try to imagine what was going on in the neighborhood way back when.  This home was built in 1930 and back then World War 1 just ended and the Great Depression was just getting started.  Now days with the invention of Google Maps we will be able to document what a certain place looked like on a certain day and we will be able to look back year after year to see what a neighborhood looks like. What do you think Silver Lake looked like back in 1930?

Los Feliz Blvd Spanish


Listing Price: $3,995,000
6 Bedrooms, 5 Bathrooms
Year Built 1926

I drive on Los Feliz Blvd almost on a daily basis and for the last few years it seems like the Boulevard is becoming more of a entrance/exit way to the 5 Freeway.  While sitting in traffic I often wonder what some of the gigantic mansions next to me look like from the inside.  Let’s take a look together.

More info:
Gated Spanish compound with rolling lawns, gorgeous landscaping, high beamed ceilings, pool, and roof deck above a center courtyard. In the 1930’s/40s, legendary architect Paul Williams made some exciting additions to the original 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival main house including a wood paneled entertaining room. Architects Kiyohara and Moffitt sensitively renovated the kitchen & pantry and added a huge garage complex and oversized guest house featuring a Murphy bed, kitchenette and fireplace.
