Secluded hillside hideaway in Silver Lake seeks $1.44M

There’s little risk of being bothered by door-to-door salesmen at this Silver Lake residence. Built in 1940, the property’s detached garage and driveway are the only parts visible from the street, with its main structure tucked into the hillside below at the end of a long-ish staircase.

While the two-bedroom, two-bath post and beam measures in at a compact 1,086 square feet, its open plan, lofty ceilings, and sliding glass walls make it feel airy and expansive. Other interior features include stone floors, a floating fireplace, marble countertops, original tile in one of the baths, and central A/C.

Outside, there’s a wrap-around deck with built-in benches, a dining patio, a gazebo, meandering pathways, and flowers and trees galore.

On a .28-acre lot that abuts one of the historic hillside staircases, the property is listed with an asking price of $1.439 million.
