Silver Lake Architectural Home by Fritz Haeg
1817 LUCILE AVE, SILVER LAKE | $2,000,000 | 2 BD | 3 BA
Ever heard of business in the front and party in the back? Scroll through the pictures of this Silver Lake architectural home by Fritz Haeg and it’ll become quite clear where this saying may have originated. From the street, this home appears to be an elegant modern home with smooth stucco and gorgeous wood paneling. Step inside to find a designed color scheme that would make Pantone proud. Green, pink, yellow, lavender and blue all make a substantial appearance as we wander (or we could easily say wonder) our way through the rooms.
Curves play a large role in the architect’s design, curved walls, domes ceilings, archways and seating all organically wrap their way around the house. And, yes, for you mid-century aficionados, both plywood and cork make appropriate appearances as well. The rear facade has a cut out experience, some say it’s reminiscent of a rocket ship. We’ll stick with ocean waves curling their way to a sandy beach. The infinity pool overlooking Silver Lake is a cap to this intriguing architectural home.
Perched up in the private hillsides of Silver Lake, this home features panoramic views of the iconic Hollywood sign and the Griffith Park Observatory. Fritz Haeg, who is also known for the geodesic home, designed 1817 Lucile with a distinct and thoughtful color scheme where each room reveals its own unique hue. In addition, the exterior elevation features a rocket-like silhouette with wood siding and a stucco facade which contains mica dust sparkles that glisten when viewed from different angles.
The upstairs rooms are host to bright and vibrant paint colors, and when transitioning to the downstairs rooms, the home features more muted tones which create a calming and grounded atmosphere as you descend. Oversized west facing windows saturate the home with the warmth of sunlight and offer a unique evening glow as the sun sets over the Hills of Hollywood. The interior design includes built-in seating throughout, that appears to emerge organically from the walls, reminiscent of natural rock formations.
These seats are upholstered in Maharam fabric, adding comfort and style. A sliding glass Fleetwood door features a striking view of the courtyard with R.M. Schindler’s Falk Apartments just across the street. The master bedroom enjoys additional built-ins and features a spa-like bathroom with polished concrete floors, a 6-foot-long double vanity crafted from glue laminated wood, a soaking tub and walk in shower with views.
Step outside to enjoy the private setting in the rear yard. Enjoy the sparkling infinity style pool with a jacuzzi. The gym and additional bathrooms are just steps away. The mature landscape and in full bloom lavender morning glory climbers all blend the home’s interior seamlessly with its exterior surroundings.
