The story of this four-unit building starts in 1908. Originally designed as a single-family residence, the property stands perched above a tree-lined street in Silver Lake. In 1935, the owner, Mrs Minnie Barton, decided to convert the residence into apartments. Today, this multi-family residence offers strong income-generating potential in a prime Silver Lake location with easy access to the neighborhood’s best dining, cafés, boutiques, and the Silver Lake Reservoir.
The House Tour
A brick staircase flanked by lush native plants and climbing rose bushes decorates the main entrance. Following an extensive remodel and addition, the two-story structure holds one generous three-bedroom, three-bath unit and three spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom units. Each space offers bright kitchens, stainless steel appliances, side-by-side washers and dryers, and bathrooms recalling its architectural past with wainscoting and daisy-patterned tiled floors.
The units upstairs feature French doors opening to spacious decks with views, perfect for quiet, latte-sipping mornings and weekend gatherings with friends. The ground-floor units showcase bay windows overlooking the front garden. Each apartment comes with off-street parking.
