A Century-Old Hilltop Bungalow in Los Angeles Seeks $800K After a Delightful Renovation

This one-bedroom home offers classic tongue-and-groove ceilings, beveled subway tile, and built-in cherry cabinetry.

The desk extends to meet a bench with storage underneath. The cherry built-ins complement new bamboo floors and wood trim.

A recently listed bungalow in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Highland Park takes its perch upon a terraced hillside lot. Originally built in 1910, the 750-square-foot home was gut renovated by its current owners to maximize interior space and incorporate chic new finishes. As an additional incentive, the property comes with approved expansion plans that clear the way for a larger structure or backyard ADU.

Built in 1910, this renovated bungalow is sited on a sloping lot between Palm View Drive and Lewis Street in Highland Park. Several terraced sections provide areas for gardening or entertaining in the front and rear yards.
