Property Description
Nestled on a wonderful flat buildable lot at the top of Vestal Ave with Panoramic Views of Downtown Los Angeles and the entire LA Basin sits this adorable 1915 Echo Park Cottage. The cottage itself is cute, situated wonderfully, and has a great balcony, but the real value is in the possibilities. The ability to expand this tiny cottage into your dream home with panoramic views and still have a yard without putting out a lot of money into it is priceless. Renowned LA home builder Barbara Bestor chose the lot behind this to build the community of Blackbirds. These small townhomes sold for over $1m and didn't have the view or land this cottage does. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the great Echo Park lots and build your dream home. Or remodel the Cottage and live the tiny house lifestyle. Either way. Don’t miss it.

No recorded sales in this range. Select All available for older records; missing records do not mean the home never sold.
ZIP averages use publicly displayable closed sales from our licensed MLS feed, matched to the same ZIP and exact property type. Months with fewer than 3 sales are omitted; the current month is incomplete. Lines connect available monthly observations across gaps and do not represent measured prices in missing months. These averages are not adjusted for size, condition, or location within the ZIP, and are not an appraisal. Feed coverage may not include every sale. All available shows the available home and ZIP history, with mortgage rates over the same dates.
Mortgage benchmark: Freddie Mac Primary Mortgage Market Survey®. © Freddie Mac. Weekly national 30-year fixed rates, not APRs or a loan quote. Actual terms vary. Methodology changed in November 2022. The chart does not establish that interest-rate changes caused a home’s price changes.
Lines connect recorded asking and sale prices. They are visual guides, not estimates of the home’s value between those dates.
