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

The Home

This is a 1936 Monterey Colonial designed by Laurence Bowman Clapp, an architect and watercolorist working in Southern California at the time. It unfolds across multiple levels, about 3,185 square feet in all.

Vaulted sunroom with beamed skylight ceilings and French doors opening to the private patio.

The main and upper levels run roughly 2,509 square feet, starting with a living room framed by an oversized picture window that looks out over the treetops. The dining area flows into an updated kitchen, and a nearby office or den opens onto a large sunroom with vaulted beamed ceilings, skylights, and French doors to a private patio. It's the kind of room that does half the selling on its own.

Upstairs are three bedrooms, including an en-suite primary with a walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms share a hall bathroom. The lower level adds about 676 square feet: a family room, a guest bedroom, and a full bath, which makes the house work a lot of ways, whether that's a home office, a media room, or space for guests who stay a while.

The Outdoors

Outside, there's a second patio and terraced gardens for dining and entertaining, with views across to the Hollywood Hills and the Griffith Observatory.

Parking is the quiet standout: a two-car garage at the front, plus a private rear drive and parking area behind the house, which is a rare thing to find in Silver Lake.

The Neighborhood

The Moreno Highlands were developed in the 1920s and 30s by Daisy Canfield and silent film star Antonio Moreno. The area is known for wide views, no overhead wires, and homes that rarely change hands. It's a walk to Ivanhoe Elementary and minutes from Sunset Junction, the Reservoir meadow, and Griffith Park.

If you've been watching Micheltorena Street, you know it holds its value. Earlier this year, our team sold 1811 Micheltorena St, a Silver Lake Craftsman, for $3,690,000. This is a different kind of house on the same kind of street.

The details: 4 beds, 4 baths, 3,185 SF on a 9,136 SF lot. Offered at $2,895,000.
