Delivered vacant, the two-unit property presents an appealing opportunity for an owner-user seeking rental income or an investor looking for a foothold in one of Los Angeles’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Period details meet modern design across two distinct residences, each with its own personality and a range of possibilities for living, working, and entertaining.

The lower residence takes a distinctly modern, loft-inspired approach.

A split-level layout, soaring ceilings, finished concrete floors, and exposed piping lend the interiors an industrial character, while a living room wet bar and distinctive blue accents add personality. Oversized windows draw in natural light and frame views of the surrounding tree canopy, bringing a sense of greenery to the interiors.

Outdoor access extends the living space to a concrete patio and wood deck, where a mature grapefruit tree adds a distinctly California touch.

A fire pit creates an inviting gathering spot for evenings outdoors, whether entertaining friends or unwinding beneath the Silver Lake sky.

The newly renovated kitchen serves as the heart of the home, pairing custom cabinetry with a suite of stainless steel appliances and a considered design that balances style with everyday function.

The primary bedroom provides a comfortable retreat, with generous proportions and a calming atmosphere that feels worlds away from the pace of the city.

The ensuite bath continues the home’s contemporary aesthetic, with refined finishes and a polished design that brings a touch of luxury to the daily routine.

Two additional bedrooms, a dedicated office space, and a second full bathroom provide flexibility for guests, family, or working from home.

With multiple bedrooms and additional office spaces, this lovely lower unit accommodates a range of possibilities, from remote work and creative pursuits to guest quarters and flexible living arrangements.

Above, the upper residence opens into an expansive great room, where hardwood floors, generous proportions, and magnificent views establish an inviting backdrop for everyday life.

The dining room makes a striking impression, with jetliner views stretching across Downtown Los Angeles to create a spectacular backdrop for dinner parties and intimate evenings alike.

Sliding glass doors extend the living space onto a private deck, where panoramic views of the city set the scene for dinner outdoors as the lights of Los Angeles begin to glow.

Back inside, the oversized kitchen features a stainless steel appliance suite and abundant storage, with plenty of room to cook and gather.

The bedrooms provide comfortable retreats, including one with an adjoining office and an ensuite primary bedroom, allowing for a natural separation between work and rest.

The primary suite’s beautifully appointed bathroom brings a sense of everyday luxury, with refined finishes and a polished and playful contemporary aesthetic.

A custom walk-in closet completes the primary suite, with thoughtfully designed storage and ample room for a dream-worthy wardrobe.

Two additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for guests, family, or a dedicated creative space, each with the flexibility to adapt to your needs.

The second bathroom is a remarkable period detail, preserving its original 1920s character and vintage charm in a fitting tribute to the home’s history.

Practical amenities make the property as functional as it is distinctive, including HVAC, laundry facilities in each unit, basement storage, and carport parking. The vacant delivery provides an especially appealing opportunity to establish a preferred living arrangement from day one, whether occupying one residence while leasing the other or exploring the possibilities of the property as a whole.

The location strikes an equally compelling balance. Close to the restaurants, boutiques, and everyday energy of Sunset Boulevard, the property sits on a circular residential street that feels removed from the surrounding bustle when the day winds down. Neighborhood favorites include Alfred Coffee, Night + Market Song, Millie’s Cafe, Sonmari, Bobo Thai, and Pine + Crane, while a short trip to Silver Lake Boulevard brings L&E Oyster Bar, LA Mill, and Botanica into easy reach.

1642 Elevado Street offers a distinctly Silver Lake way of living, with a vibrant dining and café scene close at hand, leafy residential streets nearby, and two separate residences that leave room to make the property all your own.
