$3.4 Million Homes in California

Los Angeles | $3.38 Million

A 1979 modernist house with three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, on a 0.1-acre lot

This cedar-clad house in Silver Lake has been owned by the same family for 40 years. It was designed by Richard Holme, who trained with some of the city’s most prominent architects, including Richard Neutra and A. Quincy Jones, as his own residence.

The house, which has outdoor access from almost every room, is about five minutes from the Silver Lake Dog Park, the trails winding around the Silver Lake Reservoir, and the bars and restaurants along Rowena Avenue. Driving to Hollywood, Glendale or downtown Los Angeles takes about 20 minutes.

Size: 2,261 square feet

Price per square foot: $1,495

Indoors: An exterior staircase leads from the driveway up to the main entrance. The front door opens into a double-height foyer with high windows, engineered white-oak floors and access to a bedroom with an attached half bathroom.

The oak floors continue into a living room with a marble fireplace, floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding-glass doors that open to a balcony, offering views of the hills in the distance.

The nearby dining area has more oak floors and sliding-glass doors that open to a patio. It is next to an updated kitchen with quartz counters, Thermador and Miele appliances, a breakfast area with a built-in booth and a walk-in pantry.

The primary bedroom is on the second floor, reached from a staircase in the foyer; it has glass doors that open to a patio. It shares a bathroom that has a soaking tub, a walk-in shower and marble floors with the bedroom next door, currently used as a home office.
