Set on an expansive, gated double lot – over 16,000 square feet – in Silver Lake, this contemporary residence by renowned Lewis|Schoeplein Architects is a striking blend of design, comfort, and purpose. Conceived to foster connection, the layout seamlessly unites indoor elegance with outdoor serenity, offering a lifestyle that’s both peaceful and social.

Upon entry, a sun-drenched foyer introduces the home’s balance of openness and warmth. In the living area, walls of glass reveal sweeping hillside vistas, blurring the line between inside and out. Expansive sliding doors extend the living space to a series of patios and terraces, each tailored for anything from quiet mornings to lively gatherings.

At the home’s core is a courtyard reminiscent of a luxury retreat, complete with a custom pool, spa, and fully outfitted outdoor kitchen. Whether you’re hosting an intimate evening under the stars or a vibrant celebration, this space is designed for memorable entertaining and moments of calm alike.
The kitchen marries modern aesthetics with practical functionality. High-end appliances, bespoke cabinetry, and a large central island make it as ideal for daily living as it is for hosting. Adjacent, the dining area flows easily into the outdoor space, creating the perfect backdrop for both small dinners and larger events.

The property features two main suites, each a private sanctuary with spa-style bathrooms, ample closet space, and direct access to outdoor areas. With a total of four bedrooms and three-and-a-half bathrooms, the home is perfectly suited for families, guests, or those needing flexible work-from-home options. A soothing, neutral color palette and thoughtful materials allow natural light and texture to shine throughout.

Outside, enjoy a rooftop deck with sunset views, a purposeful vegetable garden, and a sculptural water feature that adds a tranquil focal point. A separate, design-driven ADU offers additional flexibility as a guesthouse, creative workspace, or income-producing rental. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, it remains fully private and detached from the main residence.

The home embraces sustainable living with 51 owned solar panels, marrying ecological awareness with contemporary design. Every element has been crafted for elevated, adaptable living—offering a residence that is not only beautiful but genuinely livable.
