This article, published in the L.A. Times on August 12, 1990, was written by a former owner of our home and obit writer for the Times, Burt A. Folkart. My neighbor kindly shared it with me, and I felt compelled to pass it on. The neighborhood has changed over the years, but it remains a haven above downtown with breathtaking views and tranquility. Oh, how I wish I could visit the Hotel, which closed almost a century ago. Enjoy.

This mid-century 2 bedroom home in Eagle Rock is in excellent condition and move-in ready. At just about 1,100 sq. ft., it is cozy, but not small, and the 11,000 sq. ft. lot provides an incredible amount of outdoor space for the owner to enjoy. With only one bathroom, there is no true master, but the bedroom off the front of the house has its own deck, complete with a spa. The layout of the house is open and it’s definitely a great price for all you get.

What an incredible deal on Mt. Washington! This relaxing, open view home has a separate SPA down below the house. There are multiple, expansive decks, yard space, garage and 3 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms. This home feels like a true retreat in a gorgeous neighborhood. The only drawback I saw was a small kitchen (which I didn’t shoot because of people hanging out in it). Other than that, amazing home, at a fantastic price.

5312 Verdugo Vista Terrace
Los Angeles, CA 90065
Offered at $574,000

On the edge of Mt. Washington, in Glassell Park, this large home is ready for someone to move in! At almost 2500 sq. ft., it boasts 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and a bonus studio with bathroom downstairs (separate entrance). The home is nicely updated, with great views, garage, decks and plenty of space. The only downsides are no usable yard space, and the house next door is extremely close. The shared living space is unfortunately rather cut off and lacks flow. But this will work for someone. Has recently been reduced to $574,000.

1352 Allesandro Street
Los Angeles, CA 90026
Offered at $599,000

On a tiny lot, about half the size of an average lot in Los Angeles, this 3 bedroom 2.5 bath sits in Echo Park. There are some views from upstairs, though not spectacular, and a rather small but open living space and master suite on the same level. The downstairs bedrooms are somewhat small, but have large closets, which is nice. The fixtures chosen are tasteful and this place is move-in ready. In spite of the small lot, there are still front and back yards, pretty impressive! There is no garage though, and I think it’s a bit overpriced.

1518 Lake Shore Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90026
Offered at $419,000

This cozy little home will make a nice starter or downsize for someone moving in or to Echo Park. At about 900 sq. ft. this houses sits on a itty bitty 1,800 sq. ft. lot! The interior was in good condition. I didn’t see the back because there was a cat on my tail (like the pun?) the entire time, and I was instructed not to let it out. I’m not sure what the back consists of, but it couldn’t be much because the lot is minuscule! This price is pretty low for Echo Park, but I still think this may be worth less than $400K.
