In prime Silver Lake, exquisite midcentury architecture with a storied past. Be just the third owner of this 1965 post-and-beam by celebrated LA architect Ray Otero, originally built for a member of Herb Alpert’s band, The Tijuana Brass. Floating above the hillside the home manifests the essence of midcentury modern design with an open-plan layout, original wood paneling, walls of glass, seamless outdoor flow and breathtaking views. Tasteful updates are mindful of heritage including the kitchen appointed with quartz countertops and stainless appliances; there is central air conditioning and many improved systems throughout. The Primary suite + two additional bedrooms abound with sunshine. Enjoy tranquil balconies, cloistered patios and covered parking for two cars. Sited on landscaped grounds within the Ivanhoe school boundary, this home makes its statement among notable neighboring works by Schindler, Lautner and others. Coffee, dining and Reservoir recreation are mere blocks away.
