Tiny 1924 Mid-City Cottage With Converted Garage Asks $499k

Though this 1920s house in Mid-City is a modest 576 square feet, it was "efficiently designed by builders of a bygone era" and comes with built-in cabinets and a layout that doesn't seem cramped in the least. The pastel charmer, sent in by an eagle-eyed tipster, offers hardwood floors, decorative moldings, a clawfoot bathrub in its one bathroom, and a spacious and rustic back patio area that overlooks the grassy yard and converted garage ("perfect for a home office, guest home or studio space"). Sited on a roughly 4,800-square-foot lot, the house is listed for $499,000.
