The Silver Laurel

Leased for $4,195 per month — an exquisite garden apartment in a restored midcentury dwelling.

In the summer of 2025, I bought & restored a c. 1968 triplex in Silver Lake.

Unit 2, a 2 bed, 1 bath garden unit in the complex enjoys high-end finishes, in-unit washer/dryer, central AC/heat, hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, deep soaking bathtub, 2 tandem parking spots, all in a gated+secure complex with lovely shared patio. The aesthetic melds midcentury design with modern livability.

Step inside to find living spaces that are ample & sun-soaked, with thin-plank, period-specific hardwood floors. Your chef's kitchen is fitted with sea green Zia tile, custom brown cabinetry, & newer stainless-steel appliances, including a dishwasher. Laundry day is a breeze with a smart washer/dryer, + ample storage in this same area. The bathroom is a true standout, with floor-to-ceiling Zia tile in an arresting blue hue, artful vanity setup, and an extra-deep Kohler soaking tub. Your 2 bedrooms are spacious and minimalist, each with large closets. Host intimate dinner parties on the shared patio with chic furniture and look up at your wild, private hillside...with canyon vibes in the heart of the city, landscaped by renowned firm ORCA Living.

Sited on a quiet, lush street, you're a stroll away from Sunset Blvd while feeling a world away. Local icons are within minutes...the Silver Lake Reservoir, Courage Bagels, Intelligentsia, Barr Seco, Erewhon, Trader Joe's, and a vibrant nightlife scene, to name a few of many. Easy freeway access to the rest of LA & beyond. An opportunity to live at the intersection of history, nature, and earthy modernism.
