1632 Maltman Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Property Description

Welcome to 1632 Maltman Ave, a truly unique, modernized and updated craftsman compound comprising three separate structures, just a short block north of thriving Sunset Boulevard, where the best and most exciting things are happening in Silver Lake. Originally built in 1912 and thoughtfully reimagined by architect Jeremy Levine (featured in Dwell Magazine) as a Zen-modern country Craftsman, this lush, gated and private property offers an exceptional combination of character, architecture, creative spaces, and indoor-outdoor living. The compound includes a beautifully restored main residence, a bonus architectural guest house, and a separate bonus creative studio. The private front house features three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with original Craftsman character thoughtfully blended with modern design. As you enter, you'll notice the freshly refinished wood floors, custom windows, exposed wood accents, built-ins, beams, and distinctive architectural details throughout. The light-filled living room flows into a beautiful dining area, anchored by a striking Scandinavian-style decorative rotating fireplace that separates the space from the modern cooks kitchen, featuring bespoke architectural finishes. Two bedrooms that share a zen-inspired smooth-concrete bathroom are located on the main level, while a wall of glass doors opens to a custom deck and wooden pergola, the perfect setting for summer dinners and entertaining. Upstairs, the bright and spacious primary suite features soaring ceilings, clerestory windows, and an open-air office space surrounded by wrap around windows with expansive views across the city. A beautifully designed European-style bathroom and sliding doors open to a romantic private deck overlooking the lush backyard and offering peaceful treetop views across Silver Lake. Step into the private backyard, spacious enough to accommodate a pool, and discover an architectural guest house, also designed by Jeremy Levine, featuring slate floors, a petite kitchen, three-quarter bathroom, and wraparound deck. Surrounded by mature bamboo and beautifully landscaped gardens, the backyard feels like a secluded retreat in the heart of the city. The former one-car garage has been transformed into a creative studio, complete with concrete floors, double doors and custom lighting, an ideal space for an artist, musician, office, or creative workspace. The entire property is gated and private, yet remarkably close to the energy of Sunset Boulevard. Enjoy easy access to neighborhood favorites including Pine & Crane, La Colombe, Erewhon, Seco wine bar and the new and exciting Lucile Hotel, along with the incredible shops, restaurants, and gathering places that continue to make Silver Lake one of Los Angeles' most sought-after neighborhoods. Don't miss the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind Zen-modern Craftsman compound in the heart of Silver Lake, a rare blend of historic character, modern architecture, privacy, and creative living.
