I’m really impressed with this new listing in the Moreno Highlands of Silver Lake! Built in 1941, the home combines East Coast traditional architecture with mid-century modern.

Los Angeles, CA 90026
3 BR, 2.5 BA

I just saw the Edgecliffe Terrace Homes at the broker’s open house today and I was really impressed. Similar to the Lofts on Rowena that I posted about last month, these are four, brand-new, single family homes. The location is ideal–in prime Silver Lake and within easy walking distance of Sunset Junction.
Each of the homes are structurally independent with no shared walls, systems or parking. Each unit provides approximately 1,600 square feet of interior space, 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an attached side-by-side 2-car garage, and a spacious roof deck with views of the Silver Lake hills, Griffith Park Observatory and the Hollywood Sign. The homes at 1372 and 1374.5 also have private yards.
The building was designed and built by architect/owner Green City Building Company and features custom built-in closets and cabinetry, Bosch stainless steel appliances and five-fixture master baths.

New listings are back! After a few quiet weeks there is finally some activity in the market. I was able to see this new listing in Silver Lake today and I liked what I saw. The ranch style home was built in 1951 and is located on a quiet cul-de-sac street. It is also rumored to have been built by noted architect Robert Byrd.
The 1,672 square foot residence features a spacious living room with vaulted, exposed beam ceilings and lots of natural light.
2011 Home Of The Year
Update: The votes are in! The Norton House in Pasadena was crowned Best Home Of 2011. This Buff & Hensman beauty received 23% of the votes (followed by 3705 Alzada and 1160 Chateau in a tie for second).
My vote was for 1160 Chateau, but the Norton House was a close second. It’s such a great house and I’m not surprised it won. Thanks for voting!
Check out all the top homes of 2011, after the break.
Neutra’s Koblick House in Silver Lake
1816 Silverwood Terrace
Los Angeles, CA 90026
3 BR, 2 BA
$849,000
Richard Neutra’s Koblick House was built in 1937 for art professor Harry Koblick. I saw the three-story duplex, located in the hills above Silver Lake, when it first came on the market last month. It came on with an accepted offer, but now it’s back on as an active listing. The 1,620 square foot architectural is in good condition–albeit close to original–and there are two vacant lots on either side.
The upper unit has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath and currently rents for $1,890 a month. The lower unit has 1 bedroom and 1 bath and rents for $1,080 a month. Since the rents are a bit low, this property would be ideal for a collector looking to occupy the entire residence, rather than a buyer seeking an income property.
The duplex is sited on a 6,403 square foot lot. There are built-ins, hardwood floors and lots of light through large windows.
