2232 Silver Lake Boulevard in Silver Lake
This is the first offering of the Kambara Residence, built in 1960, designed by Richard Neutra in the Silver Lake “Neutra Colony.” I live just a few blocks away and have always admired this house. Contrary to appearance, this unique living environment, sheltered within a park-like landscape, was not a planned development. The Kambara residence shares an interesting, combined paved and planted entranceway with its neighbor, another Colony house, the O’Hara. Mature foliage separates the homes and offers privacy for both.
This four-bedroom, three-bath home has been very carefully maintained over the years. The main living area features a wall of glass that open to an inviting lake view balcony.
Adjacent to the living room, the formal dining area is connected by means of a set of sliding room dividing doors (pictured open.) The kitchen is also connected to the dining room through a hidden sliding walnut panel (pictured closed.)
The kitchen, located just to the east of the dining area includes a family dining area and views to the garden court.
Among the residences that Nuetra designed here, each was carefully executed one by one. The architect provided, by design, for the happiness and well-being of each individual owner, and their family.
The study boasts custom teak cabinetry and a balcony overlooking the Silver Lake Reservoir.
The upstairs bedrooms, feature views to the lake and are on the same level as the double garage which exits to the back onto Nuetra Place.
Sited on a 7,024-square-foot lot, the residence is situated so that living spaces merge with the views of Silver Lake and surrounding gardens.
One of the small cluster of mid-century modern homes that make up Silver Lake’s Neutra Colony, this home is in a great location, close to the many shops and restaurants on the Boulevard as well as the walking path around the Reservoir. A very rare opportunity!
