Built in 1925, this house in the hills of Highland Park near Eagle Rock Boulevard still features a few vintage touches, including coved ceilings and handsomely weathered hardwood floors.
The kitchen could probably use a style refresh, but it is spacious, open, and bright, and provides plenty of counter space.
Bedrooms feature plentiful windows, and throughout the house, French doors abound, connecting the interiors with the outdoors.
At the street level, there’s a kind of bonus space: a slim garage converted into an office that opens onto the street.
The three-bedroom house is fronted by multiple levels of deck-type spaces, offering a variety of perches from which to take in the views of the surrounding neighborhood. The property is dotted with what looks to be drought-tolerant landscaping, especially at the front of the house where a number of large succulents can be seen.
The 1,400 square foot house last sold in 2007 for $290,000. It’s now seeking $699,000.

My husband and I went to see this house over the weekend – the photographs are a bit deceiving – most of the "rooms" are makeshift structures that are freestanding (ie no bathroom, running water, or I imagine heat, etc…) with glass walls and definitely not up to any sort of code. The patios are in lieu of a yard and the whole layout is really bizarre. Seems like a good place to buy if you are looking to start a commune of some sort and don’t mind going outside to get from one room to a bathroom, etc…Also, the converted garage on the base has ceilings that are about 6 feet high…Very strange house – one of the strangest we’ve seen in our house hunt.

the photos on the broker’s site are pretty clear, ya, there’s a ton of third world fuckery going on.
a mountain of disclaimers need to be signed before this one will fly.
that being said, it’s a strange place that wouldn’t be half bad with nice tall privacy hedge, feels too naked from the street.
1,400 sqft for $699 k is a lot of bang per buck (even if 600+ of that is unpermitted).

Good luck. Thinking a bulldozer.
