Our latest listing takes us to the border of Silver Lake. This cozy Spanish-style bungalow is part of a Tenants-in-Common community. It’s a stand-alone house with no shared walls, featuring a preserved 1920s Los Angeles aesthetic and an outdoor deck exclusive to this unit, where you’ll enjoy many nights of entertaining and views of Downtown. Located near Historic Filipinotown, Westlake, and Rampart Village, the property is situated in a vibrant area with a thriving culinary and cultural scene.
The House Tour
The house stands above the street in a gated Tenants-in-Common community. Tastefully updated, the one-bedroom, one-bath Spanish-style bungalow opens to a living room with hardwood floors, coved ceilings, a decorative fireplace, and large windows that frame views of the Downtown skyline. The deck, exclusive to this unit, is visible below, where you can imagine your future garden beds laden with herbs and lush potted greenery.
At golden hour, light reflects off the Downtown towers. It illuminates the eat-in kitchen, which features checkerboard floors, butcher block countertops, open shelving, built-ins, and a backsplash of subway tile that extends from the counter to the ceiling. A small hallway leads to the laundry area, which has enough room for utility shelving.
The bedroom is positioned to the rear of the unit and features an en-suite bathroom. The owner says, “Everything except the tub is new. The goal was always to make it some version of modern but have historic nods.” Here, Zia tile lines the floor and surrounds the combo tub/shower. The arch shower and cove ceilings mimic the cove ceilings in the living room. “The Hans Grohe fixtures and the Duravit sink are contemporary but based on a historic design. I built the medicine cabinet with a mirror and rebuilt the window.” Read more about this property in our ‘My House’ series.
