Signature steel framed ribbon windows define an artistic entry. Two generously sized rooms with sweeping views, viewing deck completes the Master. Distinctive and extraordinary bathrooms include a teak sink, reclaimed wood wall and boffi fixtures. The modern, utilitarian kitchen is enhanced with views of downtown and expansive terraced gardens.
The house is on the market (March 2013) and listed for sale for $1,249,000. Located at 3056 Landa Street in the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles.
