How do I prepare and price a single-family home to sell in Silver Lake?

Selling a Silver Lake home for top dollar requires strategic prep and targeted positioning.

Property Overview

1328 N Occidental Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Two detached homes | 2 bedrooms + 3 bathrooms total
1922 bungalow: 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom | Delivered vacant
Architectural home: 1 bedroom, 2 bathrooms | Currently rented for $4,450 per month

Two different chapters of Silver Lake architecture share a garden setting at 1328 N Occidental Blvd. A classic 1922 bungalow sits alongside a modern home with a dramatic roofline and soaring interiors, each with its own outdoor space and no shared walls.

The pairing offers an appealing possibility: settle into the bungalow, which will be delivered vacant, while collecting existing rental income from the architectural home. Both residences have their own laundry and bonus space, giving this two-home property a practical side to match its personality.

A 1922 Bungalow with Character Intact

The bungalow’s original windows and curved ceilings set a softer tone. Wood floors catch the light, while a shaped archway frames the transition from the living room to the raised dining area. A few steps and decorative iron railings give the rooms a sense of separation without closing them off.

In the kitchen, tile countertops, a farmhouse sink, and a classic O’Keefe & Merritt stove carry that vintage character forward. It’s a home with details worth taking your time over, from the window proportions to the curves of the plasterwork.

One bedroom and one bathroom complete the bungalow, along with bonus space that offers an option for working from home. Delivered vacant, it gives the next owner an opportunity to make this part of the property their own.

A Different Perspective Next Door

The architectural home makes its own impression with an angled roofline, corrugated metal siding, and expansive windows.

Inside, a high wood-clad ceiling brings warmth to the bright living space. Large sliding glass doors connect the room to an outdoor sitting area, extending the view toward the surrounding neighborhood. The kitchen and dining space introduce dark cabinetry and light wood flooring, continuing the home’s straightforward, modern palette.

This residence has one bedroom, two bathrooms, and its own bonus space. A private patio with views of the Silver Lake hills adds a place to step outside and slow down.

The architectural home is currently rented for $4,450 per month.

Separate Spaces, Inside and Out

Each home has its own washer and dryer, dedicated outdoor space, and a standalone footprint. That separation is central to the property’s appeal: two residences with individual identities and room for their own routines.

Mature trees and drought-tolerant California native landscaping surround the homes. Garden paths and a vine-covered outdoor dining area bring another layer of character to the setting, with greenery softening the architecture throughout.

A Place to Live with Rental Income Next Door

For someone considering living in one home and renting the other, the arrangement is easy to understand. The bungalow will be delivered vacant, while the architectural residence has an existing tenancy at $4,450 per month.

The appeal goes beyond the income. Having no shared walls, separate laundry, and individual outdoor areas gives each residence more of the feel of a home of its own.

It’s a distinctive way to put down roots in Silver Lake, with vintage architecture on one side and a contemporary counterpart on the other.

Near Sunset and Silver Lake Boulevard

Just off the Sunset and Silver Lake Boulevard corridor, the property is close to neighborhood spots including Cafe Tropical, Bodega Park, and Azizam on Sunset.

Along Silver Lake Boulevard, L&E Oyster Bar, Botanica, and Lamill Coffee offer more reasons to get out in the neighborhood, with the Silver Lake Reservoir nearby as well.

At home, the trees, garden spaces, and contrasting architecture give the property a setting all its own.
