Residenza Unifamiliare A Los Angeles

Perched above the street and nestled among the trees, this thoughtfully expanded Silver Lake home offers a rare sense of privacy, warmth and connection to its natural surroundings. Designed by architect Susan Nwankpa (and featured in Rue Magazine), the home balances striking architectural volume with a relaxed, lived-in sensibility - creating spaces that feel both elevated and deeply inviting. A cedar-clad exterior encompasses the primary gathering spaces, defined by soaring vaulted ceilings, expansive windows and an abundance of natural light. Carefully considered materials and custom details create a rich sense of texture, while verdant views from nearly every room reinforce the home’s unique relationship to the landscape beyond. The kitchen serves as the heart of the home, seamlessly integrated into the gathering spaces, featuring a La Cornue range, custom millwork and natural stone counters. The main level offers two bedrooms, a playful Jack-and-Jill bath, and a separate powder room for guests. Upstairs, a loft with built-in seating and shelving provides a cozy retreat for reading, movie nights or game time. The primary suite is bright and generously scaled, featuring a walk-in closet, a beautifully appointed ensuite bath, and an oversized picture window that frames views of the garden beyond. Outside, a private deck with an outdoor shower unfolds to terraced gardens and inviting gathering spaces, connected by hillside paths that wind through the landscape and reveal views of the surrounding hillsides. Whether enjoying a quiet morning, hosting friends or taking in the surrounding greenery, the experience is one of calm, retreat, and effortless indoor-outdoor living. Architecturally distinctive yet remarkably approachable, this designer-crafted Silver Lake home offers a rare opportunity to experience thoughtful design and natural beauty, in the heart of one of Los Angeles’ most sought-after enclaves.
