1355 MCCOLLUM ST

Take in a sweeping view over the rooftops from the broad front veranda of this 1921 charmer, set high above the street. Then step inside to a home where soft light suffuses the window-filled rooms, gleaming off the ebony-finished hardwood floors. Open living and dining room adjoin a sunny kitchen with warm terracotta tile floors, hardwood cabinets and built-in appliances. Step out the door to enjoy a quiet al fresco breakfast on the cozy covered side patio. Two bedrooms and baths include a primary suite with a walk-in closet and a charmingly redone bath whose clawfoot tub, pedestal sink and octagonal tile floor recall another era. Sliding glass doors open to a flat, private yard with deep, shady patio, fruit trees, a vegetable garden and an outdoor shower. Other highlights include a detached office with sound booth plus a two-car garage. Behind the scenes, recent upgrades include a new sewer line as well as newer AC, attic insulation, and solar panels. At last, you've found the Silver Lake gem you've been looking for.
