2018 Griffith Park Blvd Unit: 116

One of the most extensively upgraded residences ever offered at Cedar Lodge, this two-bedroom Silver Lake condo pairs architectural character with thoughtful modern improvements. Hardwood floors, wainscoting and a fireplace are complemented by fluted sconces, Schoolhouse fixtures, an oversized rattan pendant, low-energy LED lighting and energy-efficient Milgard V300 Trinsic double-paned windows and sliding doors. The remodeled kitchen features Samsung appliances, abundant storage, a full tile backsplash and an offset double-bowl sink. Both bedrooms are generously sized with walk-in closets, while the primary suite adds a second closet and an en-suite bath with dual sinks, a wide wood countertop and a glass-enclosed shower with built-in seating. Central heat and air, a dishwasher and an LG water-saving front-load washer and dryer add everyday ease. A covered private balcony overlooks Cedar Lodge's park-like grounds and mature trees, creating a calm retreat in the heart of the city. Near the Los Feliz and Franklin Hills border, the home is close to coffee, wine bars, restaurants, Trader Joe's, Gelson's, Hotel Lucile, the Silver Lake Reservoir, Sunset Boulevard, Hyperion Avenue and the LA River for cycling and outdoor recreation. It is also located in the Ivanhoe Elementary and Thomas Starr King Middle School districts. Cedar Lodge is known for strong financials, attentive management and amenities residents genuinely use, including a large pool, oversized spa, expansive green space, elevators, guest parking, a modern intercom system and bicycle storage in the gated, covered garage. EV chargers are already installed for use at the home's parking spaces. HOA dues include water, hot water, trash, Spectrum basic cable, 600 Mbps internet, and earthquake and hazard insurance for the building. At this price point in Silver Lake, this may be the only move-in ready choice that is not a complete teardown. It is an ideal first home, city base, second residence, downsize, or long-term home for singles, couples and families alike. More than a stylish place to live, it is a smart way to begin or continue building wealth through ownership and appreciation, lock in a more predictable monthly housing payment, and gain control over how long you stay and when you move. Whether it is the first rung on the real estate ladder, the home between chapters, or the one you keep for years, this is a rare opportunity to own in one of Los Angeles' most enduringly desirable neighborhoods.
