2417 Reservoir Street
Silver Lake, CA 90026

2417 Reservoir St., a 1925 Spanish gem, has only gotten better with age. The current owners have lovingly restored this beauty to her former glory and have enhanced the appeal with too many updates and improvements to count. From the front porch, complete with heated dog house, to the stunning assortment of succulents and native wildflowers, this house whispers a sweet hello to everyone who passes through the sturdy iron gates.  Period appropriate windows were custom made to fit perfectly, while every door is solid wood with vintage brass hardware from the 20s.  Seven layers of paint covered the now gorgeous tile fireplace. The hardwood floors gleam with the kind of character earned over nearly a century of life, and the coved plaster ceilings, returned to their original texture and curves, lend another touch of warmth. The bathroom shines with classic white penny tiles and feet stay warm with a Nuheat floor system, while the nearby walk-in closet is already plumbed to become a second bathroom (for around $20k) and add two new walk-in closets by dividing the middle bedroom. New copper pipes and filtration system, along with the on-demand water heater with battery backup, deliver filtered, instantly hot water to the amazing clawfoot tub.  The kitchen drops you into another era with retro features that you have to see it in person.The house comes with an already wired security system, complete with motion sensors that monitor the house 24/7, and the power gate adds another layer of convenient access to the one car garage and storage unit. Tandem parking for up to four vehicles. For those who don't need/want the huge storage unit (a potential office with modifications), the rear of the house could easily be transformed into an amazing patio with private garden.
