Open House Report/LA: Sleek New Design in Atwater Village, Silver Lake & Los Feliz
Author:Philip FerratoTake a tour of new homes with minimalist details and open floor plans, open on Sunday, October 28th– minimalist enough to make you throw out everything you own and start over.
4288 Perlita Avenue, Atwater Village, $599K
The Mews (above) is a 23-townhouse project arranged along a private road– hence “mews.” They’re all 2-level, 3-bed, 2.5-bath units with 2-car parking and a minimalist vibe– polished concrete floors and walls of glass frame small outdoor spaces, and set the tone for your collection of Mid-Century flea market furniture and Margaret Killgallen paintings. We love the austere white and grey bathrooms. While $599K may be a little high for Atwater, the project is almost sold out, with design quality trumping location. Open Sunday October 28 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM
3345-1/2 West Rowena Ave, Los Feliz, CA $879K
On the market for a while but just recently getting their certificates of occupancy, this Los Feliz infill project of six 2-bed, 2.5-bath, 2-car units has the same minimalist design values with double-height spaces and three levels. The brokerbabble reads “catering to the temperaments and lifestyles of its international and artistically minded community,” but we’re sure they’ll be happy to sell you a unit no matter where you’re from, plus the kitchens are swell and the spaces interesting. Open Sunday October 28 from 1:00PM to 4:00PM
915 Rosemont Avenue, Silver Lake, $799K
It’s hard to resist a house with a vegetable garden instead of a back yard, let alone a back yard with a wood-fired pizza oven. Built in 2011, this 4-bed, 2.5-bath minimalist and eco-minded house has simple, offhand details along with energy management features like a wood-pellet stove and tankless water heaters. The listing photos many be atmospheric, but the house is definitely worth a visit in person. We loved it. Open Sunday October 28 from 2:00PM to 4:00PM

It’s hard to resist a house with a vegetable garden instead of a back yard, let alone a back yard that includes a wood-fired pizza oven. Designed by architect Jerome Pelayo (above, and detail at top) and built in 2011, this 4-bed, 2.5-bath minimalist and eco-minded house has simple, offhand details along with energy management features like a wood-pellet stove and tankless water heaters.
