How about a private, gated home in the hills of Silver Lake? Just a quick walk down the hill and you're at the Silver Lake Reservoir and some of the areas hot spots like LAMILL. This new 1920's listing at 3017 Fall Ave in Silver Lake may be just what you are looking for. 
I recall when this property at 1307 Fall Ave. in Silver Lake came on the market a few years back as a total fixer. Well, good things have definitely been done to the home since that time. There's a gated courtyard entrance that opens to the living room, dining room and kitchen for a really great flow. The original Spanish influenced of the curved archways between rooms and living room fireplace add both warmth and light to the space. The kitchen got a nice overhauls with new cabinets, counters and Bosch appliances.
Wander upstairs to two good sized bedrooms and a bath. The larger, front bedroom has its own large deck that provides fabulous views of the Silver Lake Reservoir and hills beyond. The 3rd bedroom is on its own level and has a ¾ bath. It's accessed from a door just inside the kitchen but also leads directly outside to the lovely landscaped backyard. This would make for a great guest suite or home office.
The house is 1540 sq on record though the additional downstairs suite brings the total to 1950sf. Set on a lovely terraced lot of 7,700 sf it's hard to find fault with this one. Sure, you'll want to updated the bathrooms but who doesn't want to put their own finishing touches on their home?
Currently listed with Re/Max for $785,000, it's worth checking out if you love this section of Silver Lake as much as I do.
