2000 Balmer Drive, Los Angeles, California 90039

Perched high above the street with sweeping views of the Silver Lake Reservoir, this distinguished waterfront Spanish Colonial Revival residence beautifully blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. A designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (#704), the 3, 858 S/F residence showcases exceptional scale, architectural integrity, and a rare connection to the surrounding landscape, with spectacular reservoir views from nearly every room. Original character is preserved throughout, from the magnesite foyer and dramatic staircase to hand-treated plaster walls, stained glass, period fixtures, archways, and steel casement windows. A remodeled chef’s kitchen with Sub-Zero and Fisher & Paykel appliances, plus a butler’s pantry, brings modern functionality. The main level offers expansive living and formal dining spaces, while three upstairs bedrooms include vintage tiled baths and generous closets. The primary suite features a sunroom with sweeping 180-degree Reservoir views. Additional amenities include a new split-zone HVAC system with Nest thermostats, solar panels, EV charging hookups, a dedicated laundry room, and a three-car garage. Multiple outdoor decks, a rose garden, patio, and direct access to the Reservoir create an exceptional indoor-outdoor lifestyle rarely found in the city. Located in one of Silver Lake’s most coveted neighborhoods and within the Ivanhoe Elementary School District, the residence is moments from the Reservoir, neighborhood cafs, restaurants, and local shops, while offering a peaceful and private retreat above the street.
