This 1928 Silver Lake Tudor Revival Reclaims Its Character With Bold Wallpaper, a 30-Foot Library Wall, and an Antique Desk Filled With Secret Love Letters

An LA living room with large tudor window dressed with sheer drapes, a marble fireplace is surrounded by leather couches, a vintage rug, vintage bamboo chairs and a black wooden coffee table.

Perched above the Silver Lake Reservoir, this 3,500-square-foot home was built in 1928 at the height of Los Angeles’ Tudor Revival boom.

Like many historic house designs in the area, it had already been opened up and modernized once before, smoothing out some of the quirks that gave it character in the first place.
