About 1726 N Occidental Boulevard
Ideally located in the heart of Silver Lake, this striking 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom 1927 Spanish residence sits on a rare street-to-street corner lot, just moments from the Silver Lake Reservoir and premier commercial offerings, including L&E Oyster Bar and LaMill Coffee. Wrapped in towering hedges and entirely gated and fenced, the home offers nearly 2,000 square feet of character-rich living space on an expansive 5,478 sq ft lot with a perfectly landscaped backyard set under towering trees - delivering a compelling blend of privacy, outdoor space, and classic architectural charm. Beyond the privacy gates, a Saltillo-tiled stairwell ascends to a rotunda foyer, opening into a living room with striking beamed ceilings and a dramatic picture window framing the surrounding hills. A traditional Spanish-style fireplace anchors the space, complemented by alabaster wall sconces and built-in niches that enhance the home's architectural character. Refinished original hardwood floors run throughout, with newly installed hardwood in the primary bedroom and lower-level den, adding continuity and warmth. A sunlit dining area sits adjacent to the open kitchen, featuring a generous center island with built-in bar seating, ample storage, Whirlpool stainless steel appliances, and a layout designed for effortless flow. The kitchen opens onto an outdoor deck, perfect for dining and relaxation. The main level features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a primary suite just off the kitchen. A wooden-beamed ceiling and paper lantern define the space, while direct access to a private backyard deck surrounded by greenery enhances the sense of retreat. Two additional bedrooms line the main hallway, offering comfortable proportions, ornate wrought iron window guards, and textured, rustic wall and ceiling finishes that reflect the home's Spanish character. A bright hallway bathroom with dual sinks and a tub/shower combo has also been updated with new mirrors, light fixtures, and fresh paint. The lower level offers a versatile den with its own exterior entrance, ideal for a media room, office, or guest space. Wall sconces and newly installed hardwood flooring add warmth and function. A dedicated laundry room with storage and a utility sink sits nearby, along with an adjacent bonus storage area for added convenience. Outdoor spaces are thoughtfully terraced and designed for both relaxation and entertaining. A dining area with built-in bench seating and a built-in BBQ sits beneath a graceful weeping tree, creating a romantic and laid-back setting. A grassy lawn and vegetable garden are surrounded by updated landscaping, including newly planted cypress and olive trees, semi-mature ficus, rosemary, and bougainvillea along the fence and entry. Mature hedging enhances privacy throughout. Additional features include a Nest doorbell and thermostat, as well as an ADT security system with panel and sensors, and gated parking. Ideally located near the Silver Lake Reservoir, walking path, and dog park, with easy access to neighborhood favorites including LaMill, Botanica, and L&E Oyster Bar, and located in the sought-after Micheltorena Elementary School (per LAUSD), this home places the best of Silver Lake right at the doorstep.
