A Silver Lake Reservoir Classic with Room to Roam & Views in Every Direction | 2502 Armstrong Ave.

Set directly across from the Silver Lake Reservoir, this character-driven residence occupies a 9,504 square foot lot with a backyard that is unusually large for the neighborhood and notably buildable.

$1,995,000 | 3 Beds | 2 Baths | 1,979 Sq. Ft. | $1,008 Price/Sq.Ft. | 9,504 Sq. Ft. Lot Size | Built in 1947

Elevated above the street and within the Ivanhoe School District, the property combines privacy with expansive, multi-directional views that are difficult to replicate this close to the water.

From the living room, the reservoir itself becomes part of the daily rhythm, with joggers tracing its edge and sunsets settling in through wide picture windows.

The house follows a traditional floor plan that favors defined spaces over open concept.

The main level moves in a clear sequence from a west-facing living room into a formal dining room.

Then into an eat-in kitchen with handsome wood cabinetry that reaches the ceiling and a gas range.

The kitchen is supported by a generous mudroom and laundry area.

A family room and primary suite complete the ground floor, both with direct access to the backyard.

The ground floor primary suite is spacious and sharp, with tall ceilings and lovely views.

The primary suite’s bath is vintage, yet timeless, with gorgeous, colorful tiles, and an original sink and soaking tub.

Upstairs, two bedrooms sit beneath dormers that face the reservoir, giving each room a direct relationship to the landscape.

The bathroom looks out toward the San Gabriel Mountains and the rear yard.

The second level maintains the same straightforward sensibility as the first, with an emphasis on proportion and light.

The backyard is the defining feature. It is divided into two distinct zones, each with its own function. Just off the kitchen, a more intimate garden is arranged with a brick path, mature plantings, and space for outdoor dining.

Beyond that, the lot opens into a broad, flat expanse that reads more like a small park than a typical residential yard.

A winding path moves through fruit trees and leads to unobstructed views of the reservoir and the San Gabriel range. The scale allows for meaningful additions, whether a pool, an ADU, or both, without compromising the sense of openness.

A large auxiliary space offers flexibility as a home office, studio, or additional storage.

A two-car garage at street level provides storage and supports EV charging. This incredible property in Silver Lake presents a rare combination of immediate livability and long-term growth potential, anchored by a nearly 10,000 square foot lot, a scale of land that is virtually unheard of this close to the Reservoir.
