Magical midcentury hideaway in Silver Lake

Occupying a sought-after location in Silver Lake’s Moreno Highlands, this 1940s midcentury has been elevated to bring to life the charm of its character and the magic of its setting.

The two-story home sits behind a wooden fence at 2023 Micheltorena St, above the sights and sounds of the city below and moments away from the frequently traveled Silver Lake Reservoir.

The well-lit interior champions color. Opening to soaring ceilings, the living room is dressed in a subtle pink with bi-fold doors leading to decks and a private garden. Painted a black-blue color, the dining room has a dramatic edge, yet the custom stained glass and checkerboard floors layer pattern and texture striking the perfect balance between playful and refined.

From the dining room, a bright chef’s kitchen, equipped with custom-made vintage oak veneered cabinets and polished Quartzite countertops, features skylights and a row of windows with painted blue trim bringing in the green scenery of the outdoors.

A Jack & Jill bathroom with Cipollino Ondulato marble vanity connects the downstairs bedrooms. Upstairs the primary bedroom is lined with wood paneling and features built-ins, a walk-in closet, and views through French windows. The double-height Cle Zellige tiled shower with a marble built-in bench, sink, and vanity is truly a work of art. 

Grammy-nominated songwriter, Sean Douglas, purchased the home in 2013 for $1.119 million. Dirt reports he purchased a Montecito compound earlier this year. His Silver Lake home is listed with an asking price of $2.395 million.

Image
In 2004, Jorge Gutiérrez and Sandra Equihua, the creative husband and wife team behind the multiple Emmy Award-winning animated television series El Tigre, The Adventures of Manny Rivera, and the Book of Life, moved from Culver City to live in their first home, a spacious condo in Burbank. Built on a street with a backdrop of mountains, their spacious single-level condo strikes the perfect balance between a quiet home life and enjoying the energy of a vibrant city. It’s also near the most recognized media companies in the world, including Warner Bros., The Walt Disney Company, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon. As their home hits the market, Jorge and Sandra reflect on living close to work and raising their son, Luca. Jorge: “We were renting in Culver City. We lived a block away from Sony. We always liked to walk to work. We started working at Disney, and the commute killed us. Then we found this place online.” Sandra: “Our main focus was that it was close as possible ...

Stylish Silver Lake Bungalow on historic stair street

Image
Loma Vista Place is one of Silver Lake ’s hidden treasures. It’s a historic stair street dating back to the early 1900s when LA was “well-served by trolleys, streetcars, buses, and light-rail systems.”  Lined with bungalows of a bygone era, the street crosses Glendale Blvd to Allesandro Way, offering residents an enchanting hidden enclave in the city. In 2018 Rachel Hollcraft, an event producer/designer for Hollywood after parties, and Sam Brandl, who works in television, purchased a two-story bungalow sited one flight up from Allesandro Way. The couple shares their life on this historic street as their home hits the market. Loma Vista Place is one of the stair streets featured in the book “Stairway Walks in Los Angeles.” While traversing this street, co-author Larry Gordan says, “The further I got into it, it was like, ‘Look at this place!’ It’s among the most isolated–and, in its own way, very romantic.” Like Gordan, Rachel and Sam felt the same energy. Rachel: “I...

Stunning new TIC community in Echo Park

Image
Illuminated by natural light streaming in through the large original windows, this home— one of four in a new TIC community located in Echo Park —was reimagined with a reverence for historic preservation and a nod to modern living. As this stunning residence hits the market, Elan Mordoch, owner and real estate developer, reflects on his personal “shift” during the Covid lockdown and how it renewed his perspective and appreciation for the heritage building stock in Los Angeles. Pre Covid, Elan only focused on new, from the ground up, projects, including a 12-unit condominium in Studio City, a small lot development in Los Feliz , and a mixed-use project in Hollywood. But when Covid hit, things changed. Elan: “It was the first time I stopped and shut down my daily grind and stopped the hamster wheel of constantly going, going, and going. I slowed down as we all did. I retreated into the things that are meaningful to me, like playing piano and meditating, and taking the time t...
