3462 Descanso DR Los Angeles, CA 90026

The Descanso House, architect Richard Stampton design statement in the heart of Silver Lake. Featured in Dwell, this home embodies the union of historic craftsmanship and modern design vision. This 1920s residence has been masterfully reimagined into a layered composition of space, light, and materiality. Native landscaping by Terremoto creates a lush threshold, while redwood siding, copper detailing, and precision-crafted Warema exterior blinds articulate the home's architectural language. The natural copper front door opens into a dramatic living space defined by soaring vaulted ceilings and expansive windows that frame the surrounding greenery. White oak floors unify the interiors, carrying through an open plan where scale and proportion feel both refined and inviting. Anchoring the home, the kitchen is a study in form and function with custom cabinetry, marble surfaces, and professional-grade appliances. Two serene bedrooms and bathrooms on the main level offer repose, while a flexible lower-level studio/office enhances the home's adaptability. A detached studio completes the compound, an ideal atelier or guest space immersed in the landscape. A spacious garage offers off-street parking and privacy. Situated in the heart of Silver Lake, just moments from Sunset Junction, The Ruby Fruit, Bar Siesta, Cafe Tropical, Pizzana, the Silver Lake Reservoir, and more. An architectural residence rooted in heritage and designed for contemporary life.
