Remodeled 1948 Mt. Washington cottage asks $499K

Set a bit back from El Paso Drive, this house sits where Mt. Washington starts to blend into Eagle Rock. The window bars will definitely have to come down, but they don’t obscure any of the positive attributes of this cozy, 640-square-foot dwelling.

The house, built in 1948, has been remodeled. The living room and dining area flow easily into the kitchen, which has been redone and has newish appliances. Those ceiling vents don’t lie: this place has central air, which is never a given for a home of this age.

The house has two bedrooms, but the second bedroom could be “a perfect accommodation” for the at-home worker, the listing notes.

Out behind the house, there’s ample covered patio space for outdoor dining or party spillover.

Situated on a corner lot, the house is listed for $499,000.
