Turn-of-the-century Echo Park cottage with potential seeks $800K

This sweet Echo Park house isn’t exactly turn-key, but with a little paint and elbow grease, it could make somebody a fabulous home.

Sixty steps lead up to the house from Sunset Boulevard. Tucked away from that busy street, the roughly 7,000 square foot lot is a little hideaway steps away from the main drag and all its attractions.

Beyond its little front porch, this 915-square-foot house holds two boldly colored bedrooms, a window-filled front room, a “bonus office,” and an ample, open kitchen with a bar seating.

There’s also a guest studio space with outdoor shower. The backyard is very much a blank slate, but it offers some great shade and clear views of those lovely Echo Park hillsides.
