Home of the Week: A new chapter for Storybook house in Silver Lake

Asymmetrical arches and elaborate Gothic windows give this Storybook-style home in Silver Lake its whimsical appearance.

Dating to the mid-1920s, the Hanson Residence was designed by Jean-Louise Egasse, an architect of French heritage known for combining unusual elements and European influences. A recent restoration and renovation by L.A.-based design and development firm HabHouse has brought the home into the modern day.
