Perched high above the Silver Lake Reservoir, this storied 1941 Monterey Colonial, originally built by Aimee Semple McPherson, offers a rare convergence of architectural pedigree, scale, and setting. Subtle Deco influences layer through the home's original moldings, bay windows, and balconies, creating a residence that feels both timeless and quietly expressive. Set up a private driveway, the property unfolds with remarkable privacy and presence. Expansive views stretch from the Reservoir to the San Gabriel Mountains, with additional vantage points capturing the Hollywood Sign, Griffith Observatory, and the hills beyond. Inside, a dramatic, light-filled formal living room anchors the main level, where oversized windows frame the landscape and sparkling pool. A formal dining room, kitchen, and den offer a natural flow for both everyday living and entertaining, while two bedrooms with baths complete the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite takes full advantage of both eastern and western exposures, with an office nook, walk-in closet, and bathroom. Two additional ensuite bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, family, or creative use. The grounds are as compelling as the interiors, with mature landscaping, a pool, and multiple outdoor spaces, including a covered patio and sunny entertaining areas, creating an effortless indoor-outdoor connection. A lower level with a high-ceilinged two-car garage, laundry, and generous storage adds function to the home's already impressive scale. A truly special offering, 1982 Micheltorena is rich in history, elevated in position, and increasingly rare.
