Property Description

Back-up offers now welcome. Sited on a private, gated hilltop in Silver Lake, this 1995 Spanish modernist home, reimagined by architect Gustavo Gubel, is a creative sanctuary designed for those who live deeply. Gubel, influenced by Rudolph Schindler and John Lautner and a student of Ray Kappe at SCI-ARC, crafted a home that blends indoor-outdoor living with emotional resonance and architectural spirit. Offering 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and a bonus, updated loft, the residence sits high above the iconic Sunset Junction with sweeping views of the Silver Lake hills and beyond. The loft-like floor plan features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, abundant skylights, and graceful architectural lines that flood the space with natural light. Recently updated, the home showcases rich walnut hardwood flooring throughout, complemented by polished concrete accents, Saltillo tile, two cozy fireplaces, and recessed lighting. Completely wired for sound, this is a standout feature ideal for audiophiles, musicians, producers, and anyone who wants studio-quality audio to flow seamlessly through every room. The chef's kitchen offers granite counters and stainless steel appliances. The private primary suite is a retreat with a lux spa-like bathroom featuring a steam shower, Roman spa tub, and dual sinks. The second bedroom includes a Murphy bed for flexible use, perfect as a guest room, creative studio, or hybrid workspace. What sets this property apart is its exceptional privacy and connection to nature. Custom privacy fencing and redwood gates enclose a lush, reimagined rear yard that serves as a gardener's and entertainer's paradise. Enjoy cement pavers, layered drought-resistant and tropical plantings, a gas fire pit, and a spacious front-facing view deck that creates effortless indoor-outdoor flow for sunset gatherings, sessions, or quiet inspiration. Located in the heart of Silver Lake, this abode is a short, pleasant walk to Bar di Bello, Erewhon, the Farmers Market, Loquat, and Seco. Complete with architectural notes, stunning views, clean finishes, lush gardens, and professional sound wiring, this special Gubel-designed property offers the perfect blend of creative inspiration and privacy.
