Property summary

MOSAICO, named in honor of the eclectic mosaic tiles and whimsical accoutrements that once adorned this 1928 Spanish Bungalow, is an exquisite and elevated expression of elegance. This fully reimagined and designer done 2 bed + 1.75 bath piece de resistance with a finished bonus atelier, is the stunning culmination of a Casa For You X Needle Designs creative collaboration. Once featured as an editorial piece in the LA Times, this former residence of Grammy Award winning American graphic artist, illustrator, and painter, David Edward Byrd, is the stuff of legend--proudly wearing its rich legacy of art, creativity, and indie kitsch from Silver Lake's golden era, as a badge of honor. A freshly terracotta painted staircase leads you up from the street and carries you aloft into a serene sanctuary that is a study in the reconfiguration and optimization of space. The open living + dining room has been masterfully rendered in soft lines and smooth textures. Ivory walls give way to coved ceilings and timeless arches, while light oak engineered hardwood floors roam underfoot. Large east-facing black casement windows provide a dramatic contrast and frame the surrounding verdant treetops. In a past life, the fireplace was clad in broken ceramics and found objects that served as a portrait of the artist couple who had created it. In this new life, it has been reincarnated into a modern picture of minimalism. Not to worry, there are vestiges of a playful past still alive and well, in the form of a colorful mosaic tiled outdoor shower and a vibrant art piece comprising jewel toned glass bottle bottoms. The bespoke kitchen is the pinnacle of style, clothed in soothing tones and textures, inspired by nature: clay colored square floor tile, green bamboo glazed backsplash stretching up to the ceiling, fossil gray quartz counters, and custom cabinets in walnut finish. The primary suite features a walk-in closet and ensuite full bath with dual vanity and triple door frameless medicine cabinet. The guest bedroom with original wood beamed ceiling offers eastern light and lush views. Underneath the house, sits a finished bonus room begging to be turned into a workshop, studio, office, or den. Outdoor areas abound over the generous landscaped yard. The spacious view deck showcases panoramic hillside vistas and views of Downtown, while French doors open out from the dining area onto a private outdoor patio where you can dine al fresco on a sunny day or under a starry night. The terraced backyard promises moments of quietude and reflection, where you can curl up with a book under a magnificent tree at the top. Situated just over the hill from the Reservoir, this is the perfect place to experience Silver Lake living at its peak. Neutra Institute, Silver Lake Wine, Red Lion Tavern, and Whole Foods are mere moments away. Make this home yours!
