Beyond the garden gate lies this home's best-kept secret: a private, three-tier backyard with direct access to one of Silver Lake's hidden hiking trails. Tucked into the Silver Lake hills, this 1926 bungalow feels less like a typical home and more like a boutique hotel - designer-enhanced, warm, and thoughtfully layered throughout. Rich oak herringbone floors, soft coved ceilings, and an oversized picture window fill the living room with natural light. A skylit foyer opens into the living room, where those tones carry through to the dining area and a handmade banquette dressed in custom cushions. The kitchen has been thoughtfully modernized, with mountain views through the windows and a laundry area tucked just off to the side. Custom drapery and wallpaper finish the full bathroom that rounds out the main floor. A hand-painted stairway, lit by vintage fixtures, leads down to two bedrooms and a second full bathroom. Below, a bonus lower-level space with its own exterior entrance is ready for your vision - a home office, creative studio, or storage today, with room to finish out and make fully your own. A one-car garage with a full attic above adds to the ample storage found throughout the rest of the property. The backyard is where the home turns into a playground, laid out across three distinct tiers: a top deck with hills and mountain views, a shaded second-level patio for lounging, and a large, park-like lower yard. The yard leaves room to grow. A pool, cold plunge, or ADU would all sit easily on the lot, which is zoned LAR2, giving a buyer the added opportunity to develop a second residence. Beyond the private backyard gate is direct access to the historic Corralitas Red Car Trail - one of the many secret hikes in Silver Lake. Whether you're hosting under the stars or walking to the Silver Lake Reservoir, Salazar, and Whole Foods, this property is magical!
