3 Beds 3 Baths 26954437 MLS Descanso BLDG.
Welcome home to this beautifully reimagined Silver Lake townhome, where soaring open living spaces, rich hardwood floors, and a brand-new designer kitchen come together for effortless, elevated everyday living. Just steps from the Music Box Stairs, Sunset Junction, and the Silver Lake Reservoir, this 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom retreat pairs the neighborhood's best walkability with total privacy and calm. The main level unfolds around a sunken living room anchored by a cozy fireplace, opening onto a large shared backyard that's anything but typical for a shared living space, with room for garden beds for anyone with a green thumb, space to host backyard get-togethers, and plenty of room for a pet to run and play. The all-new kitchen is the heart of the home, with sleek white cabinetry, quartz countertops, and brand-new stainless steel appliances.Upstairs, all three bedrooms are grouped together for true separation of living and sleeping spaces. The primary suite is a serene, light-filled escape with a spacious walk-in closet and a spa-style bathroom built around a deep soaking tub, the kind of room that makes you want to linger. The updates run deep: brand-new HVAC, a new roof, a new tankless water heater, new Milgard double-pane windows throughout, and fully updated bathrooms. Direct private-garage access plus a tandem spot brings total parking to three, and a full security system (alarm, coded entry gate, and cameras) adds everyday peace of mind. HOA is just $300/month, among the lowest in the neighborhood. A rare, fully refreshed offering in the heart of Silver Lake. Homes with this much light, space, and turn-key ease don't come around often.
