Perched on a sunny hillside in Los Angeles’s Echo Park neighborhood, this 900-square-foot home just hit the market—and chances are, given its relatively low price tag for the area, the dwelling won’t stay available for long. Built in the early 1900s, the recently restored residence offers a tranquil atmosphere imbued with history and charm, not the least of which is its elevated positioning, sandwiched between local flora.
The light-filled bungalow sits on a 4,801-square-foot lot in Los Angeles’s Echo Park neighborhood. Flourishing cacti stretch toward the sky in the front yard, which is positioned above the property’s two private parking spots.

"The previous owner put a lot of design details into the house," states current owner Emily Morishita. "I’ve gotten to tend to the garden and see the cacti flourish—when the giant agave blooms it becomes a Jack and the Beanstalk situation. Once you climb all of the steps [to the home], you are rewarded with both a view and an Echo Park oasis."
The 900-square-foot home features a number of outdoor gathering areas that are surrounded by local flora and offer impressive L.A. views.

The one-bedroom, one-bathroom bungalow features high ceilings and warm wood floors that facilitate a calm, welcoming air throughout the space. Large glass French doors shower the neutral-painted interior with light and fresh breezes, while also connecting the home’s indoor living areas with the outdoor patio and the elevated deck and garden area.
The main dining room and adjacent living area are framed by multiple glass French doors.
