This cute “cottage” on the edge of Highland Park feels pretty rural for Los Angeles. Partially clad in river rock, it sits on a hilly road without sidewalks (but it is walking distance to the Arroyo Seco). The two-bedroom, one-bathroom dwelling was built in 1905 and measures a cozy 606 square feet. Outdoor space includes a front porch and a side deck with treetop views. Per the listing, the home sits on two lots, leaving room for expansion. The asking price? $649,000.
