1909 Craftsman off Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park is splendid

Cheery on the outside, elegant inside, this shingled Craftsman built in 1909 boasts a beautiful living room with stately wood built-ins, charming leaded windows, and a handsome brick fireplace.

But the four-bedroom property—on the market for the first time in five decades, says listing agent Glenn Shelhamer—offers more than just good looks.

It’s spacious. The home measures 2,705 square feet, which includes a walk-in kitchen pantry, basement, and top floor duplex with two bedrooms, one bathroom, a small kitchen, and a separate entrance. And, it’s walking distance to Sunset Boulevard.

It’s asking $1.049 million.
