From the Agent: "This residence combines architectural mastery, attentive craftsmanship, and tailored finishes to achieve a natural respite in Silver Lake. Perched above a quaint side street, the property maximizes privacy and captures sweeping views. The living room has a tiled fireplace and direct access to the rear garden, trellised dining pavilion, outdoor firepit, and swimming pool. The dining room features wraparound windows and hillside vistas, and the kitchen has top-tier appliances, a walk-in pantry, a bar, a built-in banquette, an oversized picture window with greenery views, and direct access to the garden. Through a careful choreography of geometric volumes, light, and material warmth, Bestor Architecture created a calm refuge that feels worlds away from the city’s energy, yet unmistakably rooted in its creative spirit."
