There are homes that simply check boxes, and then there are homes that make you catch your breath the moment you walk in. This three-story contemporary in Silver Lake is firmly in the second category.
Perched above the Silver Lake Reservoir on a quiet cul-de-sac, the home announces itself with panoramic views — the reservoir shimmering below, the hillsides rolling out in every direction, and yes, both the Observatory and the Hollywood Sign visible right from your living room terrace. It’s the kind of backdrop that never really gets old.
Made for Living (and Entertaining)
The main entry level is where the home truly opens up. A soaring two-story living room anchors the space, and the flow between the living room, formal dining room, and kitchen with breakfast area feels both effortless and intentional — the mark of genuinely good architecture. Multiple terraces extend the living spaces outward, blurring the line between inside and out while keeping those iconic views front and center. An office and powder room round out the level, because practicality matters too.
A Primary Suite That Feels Like a Hotel — Your Hotel
The entire upper floor belongs to the primary suite. Let that sink in. A fireplace, sweeping reservoir views, and a dressing suite that includes an approximately 170-square-foot dressing room plus a second walk-in closet. The bath features a dual-sink vanity, a built-in dressing table, a large soaking tub positioned to capture the view, a steam shower, and abundant storage. It’s the kind of space that makes getting ready in the morning feel like a ritual rather than a rush.
The Lower Level: More Than a Basement
One floor below the main living area, the home reveals another layer entirely. A spacious family room flows into an arched alcove that works equally well as a study, workspace, or bar setup. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete the level — all opening directly onto a patio and a hillside stairway that winds through terraced gardens down to the lower yard.
The Secret Garden
That lower garden might be the home’s best-kept secret. Tucked below the view line and shielded from the street, it unfolds into a series of outdoor rooms with built-in seating and a fire pit — a private lounge that’s equally suited for a quiet afternoon with a book or a laid-back dinner party under the stars.
The Practical Stuff (That’s Actually Pretty Great Too)
Solar panels, a whole-house built-in sound system, and a direct-access two-car garage with an EV charger — the infrastructure here is as considered as the architecture. And with the Silver Lake Reservoir path, local cafes, restaurants, and markets all just moments away, you get the rare combination of genuine privacy and easy neighborhood access.
This is a home that’s ready for a design vision. The bones are remarkable. The setting is rare. The only thing missing is you.
