Casa Moreno, a gorgeous, custom Spanish Revival atop Silverlake’s coveted Moreno Highlands, very close to highly-rated Ivanhoe Elementary, King Middle, and Marshall High schools, and two-blocks from Trader Joe’s and the Reservoir. Completely rebuilt in 2009, this updated 3-Bdrm, 3-bath plus bonus room jewel retains all the charm of its original 1928 heritage with bespoke design throughout. An open-plan living area encourages indoor/outdoor flow to a large deck that embraces breathtaking views of the San Gabriel Mountains. Venetian plaster walls, custom Mexican tile, white oak floors, revival fixtures, and artfully curated finishes lead to a chef’s dream kitchen featuring deep countertops, top-of-line appliances (incl. BlueStar range), and handmade walnut cabinetry. The three bedrooms upstairs are highlighted by an owner’s suite with romantic balcony affords impressive views. This adult oasis includes a walk-in cedar-lined closet and a master bath with double sinks, a hydrotherapy tub, and an Indonesian teak vanity. Under the deck in back, indulge in the built-in Swedish Rock Sauna accessed via an architectural spiral staircase. In front, feast year-round from the fully edible garden, featuring peach, plum, fig, and lemon trees, grape vines, assorted fresh berries, and raised beds perfect for greens, tomatoes, and more! — a unique star of the neighborhood. New roof, copper pipes, 200-amp service, hard-wired ethernet, foundation-to-roof earthquake reinforcement, energy efficient 3-zone central AC/ heating, Nest smart thermostats, and LED lighting make this homey casa a one-of-a-kind marriage of classic style and contemporary function.
