Creativity meets history. Two bedrooms, two baths with bonus 268sq/ft guest suite/office. There are only so many homes in Silver Lake that can claim Reservoir views, only so many homes that can claim a historical softness in the curves of the walls or the wood underfoot, only so many homes that provide a seamless link between yesterday and today. Built in 1938, this Spanish Revival filled with character detail will capture your imagination from the moment you walk through the arch-top door, painted the color of the Adriatic. From white oak floors to carefully sourced fixtures to meticulously restored casement windows that can be thrown open to greet the morning sun as it casts its light on the mountains, no detail has been overlooked. The grand salon-like living room with French doors that lead out to a magical garden is equally comfortable for a crowd as it is for a quiet afternoon in front of the fire. The light-filled dining room with a custom Michael Towley pendant light flows seamlessly into the kitchen, with honed Italian marble counters and cabinets adorned with original Bakelite and chrome hardware. A long hallway leads to the primary bedroom, featuring a dressing vanity and sunshine yellow tile that will brighten the grayest of days. Further down the hall is a second bath and second bedroom with direct entry into the garden. Main level areas for dining, lounging, grilling and eating give way to gentle steps that lead to an upper yard, perfect for watching sunsets turn to stars and hosting parties under the olive and pomegranate trees. The lower level of the house provides the ultimate in guest accommodation, with three rooms, a glass and tile shower, and an abundance of light. When and if you ever want to venture out, you'll have to choose between a morning loop around the Reservoir, coffee at Lamill, shopping at Mush or cocktails and oysters at L&M. Your lifetime sanctuary awaits.
