Gorgeous and historic pride of ownership duplex in the hip hills of Silverlake! Built in 1921 in the prestigious Moreno Highlands area, and affectionately named ‘Mon Reve,’ this property is perfect for the owner-user or for the seasoned investor alike. From the front and back, sweeping views of western sunsets, the Griffith Park Observatory, the Hollywood sign and the downtown skyline frame this one-of-a-kind Dutch Colonial Revival. Front unit (1bd/1ba) and back unit (2bd/2ba) have both been tastefully updated; immaculate period details blend seamlessly with modern conveniences to create the ultimate living experience. The property is in gleaming condition and has been meticulously maintained, with upgrades including electrical systems, plumbing, foundation reinforcement and bolting, wide peg-and-groove hardwood floors, metal roof shingles and central heat and A/C. Luxuriously updated master bath features floor-to-ceiling tile, hand-cut marble accents, double steam shower w/ twoheads and a rain shower, custom built-in speakers and heated floor, mirror and towel bar. The rear (main) unit also features 17-foot-high arched ceilings, exposed wood beams with original 1920s hand-stenciling, egg-and-dart moldings throughout, a working wood-burning gas fireplace and a stunning wrought-iron Spanish chandelier overhead. An open staircase leads to the second-floor balcony and bedroom, flanked by ample but secluded attic storage. The upstairs bedroom has a cozy, cabin-like feeling with natural wood paneling, built-in shelves, downtown views and wood double doors that lead to the balcony overlooking the great room below. The rear kitchen has wall-to-wall windows and opens up to an expansive multi-level redwood deck with a clear view of the Hollywood sign — great for outdoor dining, relaxing and entertaining. The spacious rear master bedroom opens up to a trellised lower deck and the peaceful, park-like back yard featuring mature Cypress, ficus, lemon and fig trees. The 1BR/1BA front unit features hand-stenciled beams, downtown views, French doors and windows, bamboo floors, and a completely remodeled large kitchen complete with breakfast dining area. Living in this home offers the best of both worlds – secluded and surrounded by nature, as if living in a forest or in the country, but this hilltop home is actually right in the heart of Silver Lake –in the middle of it all and walking distance to Sunset Junction! Very few places in Los Angeles can offer this unique atmosphere. Tenants will pay top dollar for the unbeatable location, boundless charm and the private gated luxury lifestyle. This exceptional retreat is not your ordinary duplex, and truly must be seen to be believed!
