Handsome home in the hills of Echo Park asks $998K

Well this is homey. Built in 1924, this cottage-y three-bedroom home in Echo Park opens to a wide living space with hardwood floors and a fireplace, illuminated by rows of French windows and a glass-paneled front door.

The 1,263-square-foot residence has a single bathroom and an elegant formal dining room with oversized windows and an overhead chandelier. A spacious kitchen is highlighted by a large protruding window that offers views of the street and a bit of extra shelf space.

A winding staircase in the dining room leads up to a small attic bedroom overlooking the backyard.

Situated on an 8,357-square-foot lot, the house leads out to a large, stone-covered patio space out back, along with a rambling, hilly yard enclosed by hedges and citrus trees. As the listing notes, there’s plenty of room for a garden.

Asking price is $998,000.
