Property is new construction or fully renovated.
Although built in 1922, the property has undergone significant recent renovations including a brand-new roof, foundation retrofit, and updated electrical systems. The interior features modern bathrooms with marble vanities, updated flooring, and the installation of mini-split HVAC units, placing the renovation within the <5-year 'Excellent' window.
Situated in a highly walkable pocket of Echo Park, the property is steps away from popular local staples like Cookbook and Canyon Coffee, as well as Elysian Park and Echo Park Lake.
The detached garage has been thoughtfully converted into a creative studio or guest suite featuring a Murphy bed, providing valuable flexible square footage for remote work or visitors.
Recent upgrades including a foundation retrofit, a brand-new roof on both structures, and updated electrical systems offer peace of mind and reduced maintenance costs for this vintage 1922 home.
Located directly across from a neighborhood taco truck and near a school, the property may experience higher levels of noise, street activity, and parking congestion.
With a lot size under 4,000 square feet and the garage repurposed as living space, outdoor area is limited and traditional covered parking is sacrificed.
Set behind fencing and gathered beneath the shade of mature pepper trees, this 1922 Spanish is a beautifully composed 2BED / 1.5BATH, 1,218sf Echo Park home with a finished garage that can serve as an office, studio, guest space, or flexible setting for creative work. The front garden feels immediately transportive, with dappled light, a generous deck, and a threshold that softens the move from street to home. This is a house rooted in the fabric of Echo Park, where the city feels close, lived-in, and deeply human. Across from the neighborhood taco truck and near Echo Park Avenue, Sunset Boulevard, the home sits within one of those rare Los Angeles pockets where daily life has real movement and texture. With a school nearby and neighbors passing through, the location has a distinct energy. Cookbook, Canyon Coffee, Lassen's, Dada, and the newest arrival, Ggiata Delicatessen, are all within walking distance, as are Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium, and Echo Park Lake. Inside, the house opens through a broad archway into a series of connected living and dining spaces, where sunlight moves across warm wood floors. The rooms feel relaxed but considered, with an easy flow that lends itself equally to quiet mornings, dinner with friends, or the everyday rhythm of life at home. The kitchen sits just beyond the dining area, bright and functional, with newer appliances, ample cabinetry, and a connection to the main living spaces that keeps the house feeling open and conversational. Bedrooms are calm and well-scaled, with good natural light and a sense of separation from the more social areas of the home. The outdoor spaces are a defining part of the property. Fully fenced, the home offers a private compound-like setting, with room to gather, garden, dine, and move easily between indoors and out. The front deck sits beneath the pepper trees, while the rear patio creates another generous outdoor room, framed by fencing, string lights, and a new pergola. A finished garage adds meaningful flexibility, with a Murphy bed that allows the space to function as a guest suite, office, studio, or creative retreat. It is an especially useful extension of the home, offering privacy and adaptability without sacrificing the property's intimate scale. Recent upgrades include a foundation retrofit, updated electrical, and a brand-new roof on both the main house and garage. Altogether, a deeply livable home, intimate in scale, flexibility and a true sense of place.
