Just outside the kitchen, an exterior staircase leads down to a separate third bedroom, the ultimate flex space for a creative studio, home office, guest suite, or peaceful retreat. An additional unfinished storage and laundry room offers plenty of room for bikes, gear, and future possibilities.The front garden is pure Silver Lake magic.
