Ocher exteriors, wrought-iron balconies, and honed-limestone floors give color to this 2003 Mediterranean compound. The three-bedroom main house has three wood-burning fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen, a living room with vaulted, beamed ceilings, and French doors opening on the terraces.
This 1924 Spanish-modern Mediterranean in Silver Lake was renovated by architect Josiah Maddock. The two-bedroom bungalow features an adobe-style exterior, creamy interior walls, and wide-plank wood floors; a kitchen-dining area with an eat-in peninsula, open wood shelving, zellige tiles, and French doors to the two-level patio; an art-tiled bath; and a detached artist’s studio.
