2226 Lyric Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90027

A Franklin Hills hideaway that is tranquil yet in the middle of the action. An owner-designer took an existing 1925 one-story bungalow set downslope from the street and opened it up vertically in 1983, creating an A-frame with soaring ceiling and a mezzanine loft to the existing house to exploit postcard views of the Silver Lake hills. Clean, modern interiors updated by the current owner with ample light and easterly views. Three bedrooms on the lower level are complemented by a newly built and permitted rec room below. Storage space under the garage.
