Glassy modern by Lorcan O’Herlihy for lease in the Silver Lake hills

Now up for rent in Silver Lake is a home that has been the subject of features in both the New York Times and the LA Times.

Located in the neighborhood’s Moreno Highlands section, the cantilevered residence was designed from the ground up by Dublin-born architect Lorcan O'Herlihy in 2000.

As the home is sited high on its hillside lot, its future tenants will need to be able to reckon with climbing lots of stairs on a daily basis. But as a trade-off for all that huffing and puffing, they’ll get awe-inspiring views as well as toned glutes.

They’ll also need to be able to pay a rent that’s as steep as the hill: $6,250 per month, to be exact.
