Silver Lake Real Estate Photography For Compass

Designed by notable local architect Hideo A. Matsunaga as his family home, this sublime mid-century modern with Japanese influence is on the market for the first time since it was constructed in 1962. Elegant and warm, this 4-bed 2-bath home incorporates walls of glass sliding doors, skylights, and decks to create a sense of spaciousness and bring the outdoors in, typical of Matsunaga's designs. Located in the coveted Ivanhoe Elementary School district, the home has been lovingly maintained to preserve its innovative design and beautiful craftsmanship. A functional floor plan opens to a light-filled living room with wood beams and vaulted ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a gorgeous deck with an expansive view of the Los Feliz hills. Sliding glass doors open from the kitchen to a private outdoor lounge and dining area. An oversized Japanese paper lantern hangs over the entryway leading downstairs to a large den with a deck, two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, and a laundry area that could double as a bonus workspace. A bountiful yard with mature fruit trees, including lemon, avocado, fig, and loquat, is perfect for entertaining, playing, and gardening. Walkable to the Silver Lake reservoir and many fabulous restaurants and shops. A rare opportunity to own an elegant and original mid-century gem in the Silver Lake hills.
