About This Home

This Streamline Moderne style home was the first design, Model House of 1935 by Kesling who produced homes for actor Wallace Beery and the iconic side by side homes for Vanderpool & Skinner directly across the street. Easterly Terrace is a very private, winding street on a cul-de-sac. There is no thru-traffic. The home is on the north slope of the street affording it generous north and west facing views of the Silver Lake Hills. The sloping site allowed Kesling to build a two story home consisting of a main floor and and additional structure below with a large modern deck which was added in the '90's for social purposes. The main house has a large living room with panoramic window views, a separate dining room and a remodeled kitchen with a Viking range, dishwasher and ice-maker refrigerator. in addition, there is a master bedroom with again, panoramic window arrangement, an original tiled bathroom, media or family room and a 2nd bedroom with its own new bathroom.
