A pedigreed midcentury in Los Angeles known as the Takahashi Residence makes a rare appearance on the market. Perched atop the hills of Silver Lake, it offers sweeping views of several city landmarks, including Griffith Observatory, Silver Lake Reservoir, and the Hollywood Sign.
The 1960s home sits on a hillside lot in the hills of Silver Lake, east of Glendale Boulevard. Upon entry, tongue-and-groove paneling lines the walls, guiding you to the living spaces beyond.

The post-and-beam dwelling was built in 1967 by architect Thomas Takahashi for his family, and it remained under their ownership until 2013. Well preserved throughout the decades, the midcentury residence boasts floor-to-ceiling glass tempered by warm wood paneling and cork flooring. Original cabinetry and light fixtures also dot the interior.
Floor-to-ceiling glass wraps the living area, which opens to the rear terrace.
