This enchanting 1930s Spanish Duplex in Silver Lake, just one block from vibrant Sunset Junction, blends timeless character with exceptional indoor-outdoor living. Set behind mature landscaping for added privacy, the property offers a rare urban retreat rich in charm and flexibility. Currently configured as a duplex with one 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit and one 3-bedroom, 2-bath unit, it presents a unique opportunity for investors owner-users, or those seeking a flexible living arrangement, with the potential to be converted into a spacious single-family home. The front unit (2 bedrooms, 1 bath) welcomes you through an arched entry and handcrafted wood double doors with decorative iron studs. Inside, classic character is expressed through hardwood floors, archways, built-ins, and a vintage decorative tile fireplace. Natural light fills the space throughout. A third-level bedroom offers a unique retreat with sweeping city and Hollywood Hills views. The rear unit (3 bedrooms, 2 baths) offers generous split-level living with hardwood floors and arched openings throughout. Two bedrooms are positioned upstairs, both overlooking the backyard, while the main level features an additional bedroom with comfortable living spaces. The kitchen blends vintage charm with updates, featuring stone countertops, a farmhouse sink, glass-front cabinetry, and a classic O'Keefe & Merritt range. A built-in breakfast nook framed by the greenery, with views and direct access to the backyard. The expansive backyard is a true Silver Lake oasis with multiple outdoor areas, including a pergola-covered lounge with spa, a lawn framed by mature hedging, fruit trees, and a gravel dining terrace ideal for al fresco gatherings under caf lights. Previously featured in the online edition of Architectural Digest, the property is moments from Silver Lake's vibrant dining and cafe scene, with local favorites like Intelligentsia, Erewhon, Sqirl, and Cafe Tropical nearby.
