Simple Silver Lake bungalow overlooking park seeks $679K

Silver Lake is so desirable, we won’t be surprised if a buyer giddily scoops up this little bungalow above Bellevue Park for its $679,000 asking price. Located south of Sunset Boulevard, it’s about a half-mile to popular East Hollywood breakfast joint Sqirl and just under one mile to Sunset Junction.

Colorful on the outside, it’s understated inside. Built in 1954, it comes in at one-bedroom and one-bathroom in 640 square feet, but skylights help open up the space and built-ins help offset its petiteness.

A patio off the living room looks right out at the park and the Hollywood Hills.

If you need proof of how in-demand this neighborhood has become: Redfin shows the little pad last sold in 2001 for $165,000.
