This shingle-clad bungalow stands on a special street in Silver Lake. Lined with bungalows from a bygone era, Loma Vista Place is a historic stair street dating back to the early 1900s, when pedestrians used the stairs to access the trolley lines. Today, residents enjoy a quiet, unique setting, surrounded by lush greenery, city views, and the occasional visitor who traverses the stairs for exercise. The property is moments away from the Silver Lake reservoir, The Red Lion, and other popular neighborhood spots.
The House Tour
The bungalow sits behind a tall fence, positioned to capture views of the surrounding hillside. Inside, the home opens to a dining area that flows to an open living room and kitchen.
Pendant lights dangling above the bar seating of the kitchen complement the custom cabinets. The kitchen is equipped with a stainless steel dishwasher and stove.
The dwelling’s most striking features are the windows, particularly those behind a spiral staircase, which frame the morning sunlight and capture the glow of LA’s magical sunsets. Windows in both bedrooms frame the lush greenery of the outdoors, with the primary bedroom featuring an ensuite bathroom opening to the rear yard.
The grounds are filled with meandering paths, tall trees, and mature landscaping. There are multiple lounging areas. The first is an area set up beyond the entry gate that allows an indoor/outdoor flow from the public areas.
There’s also a wonderful seating area off the primary suite, providing a relaxing space for morning coffee.
The Neighborhood
The residents of the Loma Vista stairs are a tight-knit group. The owners share that they do different events together, from walking over to The Red Lion with everyone to Halloween and other holiday events. One of their neighbors did an incredible Christmas extravaganza and set up times for each neighbor to attend.
In addition to the neighborly love, residents are close to the Silver Lake reservoir, L&E Oyster Bar, Botanica, Elysian Park, and other neighborhood spots. Read more about life on this historic stair street.
