Welcome home to this charming 1920's California Spanish bungalow located in Silver Lake. Larger than most homes in the neighborhood, 646 N. Dillon is ready to become your own private sanctuary. With tremendous character, the house includes a must-see rustic family room and a bonus room above the garage. Entering the home through a covered porch, you're greeted by a light-filled living room featuring a high coved ceiling, original hardwood floors, and a Batchelder-inspired decorative fireplace. A draped arch opening leads to the large formal dining room, also with a coved ceiling. The spacious kitchen and adjoining utility room with washer, dryer, and wash basin offer ample opportunity to expand or customize, and elevate every culinary endeavor. The warm "log cabin" style family room has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and overlooks the backyard, creating an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining friends and family. Both well-sized bedrooms with crown molding are downstairs and share a recently remodeled Jack-and-Jill bathroom. The bonus room is ideal for a home office, guest bedroom, or fitness room. The private backyard features mature landscaping and access to the attached two-car garage (no direct access to the house). Surrounded by a native California garden and located close to Silver Lake's best restaurants, shops, parks, and the reservoir, this property is perfect for buyers seeking character, charm, and the opportunity to create a very special retreat. This is a true gem waiting for its next owner.

Condition Rating
Fair

This 1926-built home retains much of its original charm with well-maintained hardwood floors and architectural details. While one Jack-and-Jill bathroom has been recently remodeled to a modern standard, the kitchen is significantly outdated, featuring vintage appliances, old cabinets, and tiled countertops, indicating a need for a full renovation. The property is functional and livable, but the age of the home suggests other major systems (electrical, plumbing, and HVAC, as no AC is mentioned) may require updates, aligning with the 'aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional updates' criteria for a 'Fair' rating.

Historic Charm & Architectural Details: Charming 1920s California Spanish bungalow with tremendous character, featuring high coved ceilings, original hardwood floors, and a Batchelder-inspired decorative fireplace.

Kitchen Requires Renovation: The spacious kitchen and utility room are described as offering 'ample opportunity to expand or customize,' indicating it is not updated and will require significant investment to modernize.
