A brilliantly unusual home has hit the market in Silver Lake’s coveted Moreno Highlands, making its first appearance in nearly 40 years. This architecturally significant property was masterfully designed by Richard Holme, a protégé of renowned architects Richard Neutra and A. Quincy Jones. The home seamlessly blends modernist principles with a unique flair, creating a timeless residence that playfully captures the imagination.


Perched atop the hills, the property offers breathtaking panoramic views that stretch across Los Angeles. From the serene Silver Lake Reservoir to the majestic San Gabriel Mountains, and iconic landmarks like the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory, the vistas extend even further, reaching out to the sparkling Pacific Ocean on a clear day.

The exterior is clad in cedar, giving the home a warm, organic feel that complements its stunning surroundings. Inside, the home has been elegantly remodeled by designer Brian Bell, who has infused the space with contemporary style while respecting its architectural roots. It features an open, flowing layout that maximizes light and space.

With floor-to-ceiling windows that frame the spectacular views, the thoughtful design embraces the natural surroundings, incorporating elements that bring the outdoors in. A dramatic gas fireplace, framed by a floor-to-ceiling marble slab, serves as a striking focal point in the living area.

Every room in the house is a showcase of careful craftsmanship and late mid-century elegance, from the original built-ins to the distinctive details that reflect the influence of Holme’s legendary mentors.

This Silver Lake gem is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a home with both historical significance and a prime location, offering a perfect blend of privacy, style, and unparalleled views.

There are multiple outdoor dining and entertaining areas with jetliner views.

The sleek kitchen and baths feature high-end finishes such as Quartz, Calacatta marble, and granite, paired with designer fixtures that add a touch of luxury. Top-of-the-line appliances from Thermador, KitchenAid, and Miele cater to even the most discerning chef. The kitchen also includes a built-in breakfast nook and a walk-in pantry, enhancing its functionality and charm.

The home offers three bedrooms and three baths

There is a large loft space on the top story that serves as a versatile area perfect for a den, library, or home office, complete with built-ins and limestone counters.

The interiors are further enhanced by engineered wide-plank white oak hardwood floors, which provide a warm, cohesive flow throughout the living spaces.

Two bedrooms upstairs include The elegant primary bedroom walls of glass sliders and plenty of closet space.

Both of the full bathrooms on this level are spacious and updated.

The primary bedroom opens up to the wonderful backyard which is lushly landscaped and ideally private.

Additional features include a studio/workshop with built-ins, butcher block counters, and a sink, ideal for creative projects or hobbies, and a large, double-story garage offers abundant storage and parking, making it practical for a variety of needs.

The outdoor spaces offer a true sanctuary, featuring multi-level, terraced gardens lush with tropical specimen plants, California natives, and fruit trees. The thoughtful landscaping is accentuated by a combination of tile, gravel, cement, and wood hardscape, creating a variety of textures and visual interest. Custom redwood fencing, planters, and automatic irrigation add to the low-maintenance appeal, while Malibu and solar lighting ensure the gardens are just as enchanting by night as they are by day. Several patios, decks, and seating areas are perfectly positioned throughout the property, providing numerous spots for lounging, dining, and entertaining.

Situated in close proximity to top-rated schools such as Ivanhoe, Thomas Star King, and Marshall, this home is perfectly positioned to take advantage of all that Silver Lake has to offer.
