One Bedroom Apartment | Duplex | Silver Lake

I remember the first time I stepped foot into this magical apartment years ago and it’s sure to make a lasting impression on you too! This gem doesn’t turn over very often as it oozes with vintage charm, has a stellar location directly across the street from the Silver Lake Reservoir and Recreation Center, offers gorgeous hillside views with the mountains in the distance, has a private patio, and not only includes a single car garage but a second tandem driveway parking space!

As you enter this 1920’s side by side duplex apartment, an arched doorway opens up to the bright living room that is naturally lit by the sunlight pouring through an oversized picture window on the west facing facade. It’s hard not to be drawn like a magnet immediately to the window and iconic Silver Lake views, however, once you put your attention back inside the details start to pop from floor to ceiling. Immaculately kept original hardwood floors and ornately detailed crown moldings bring warmth and elegance to the space. A breakfast nook connects the living room and kitchen and boasts the same westward views. Furnish this space with a small dining table or convert this room into that home office you have been desperately desiring since these safer at home orders have been in effect.

Wainscoting in the breakfast nook, scalloped kitchen cabinets, clear drawer knobs, butcher block rolling storage cart and the original farmhouse sink brings a country chic aesthetic to this urban dwelling. You may bring your own appliances or continue to use the stove, fridge and stackable washer/dryer that was donated to the home by the former tenant. Just be aware that the owner will not be responsible to maintaining or replacing these appliances. The laundry room offers additional built-in cabinetry storage and side door access to your picket fenced private patio. With ample room for a dining set you can opt to dine al fresco and cultivate your own herb garden.

The same gorgeous hardwood floors from the living room continue through the hallway, past the built-in linen cabinetry and into the single bedroom. Fit for a queen sized bed, this room features a ceiling fan, window air conditioning unit and small closet with room to spare for a bedside table or dresser depending on the layout you choose.

The owners have owned this property for decades, raised their own families within these wall and hope to welcome you like family as well. I know many of us consider our fur babies family as well, however, the owner’s have a strict no pet policy. The lease agreement is for just one year, but If you believe you are the next extended family member who can see this being your home for that year and beyond do no hesitate to set up a socially distanced tour because this one will surely be a hot commodity!
