A Millennial checking out 1623 Avalon Street may text their BFF with: “OMG! This home is totes adorbs! #echopark #ecofriendly #YOLO (okay, maybe not the last one).” This would obviously be sent with some photos in a plethora of different filters.
At 924 sq/ft, this colorful 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom Elysian Heights bungalow jumps into the market aggressively priced at a respectable $549,000. Updates abound with nods to both the past and the future with conscientious updates, including solar panels, a rain water collection system, and xeriscaping.
As for the past, traditional details abound, including hardwood floors, a brick fireplace (decorative), wainscoting, and built-ins. While square footage may be limited, the layout certainly allows for plenty of usable space.
Tasteful updates continue in the kitchen with plenty of counter and cabinet space, new appliances, and colorful tiles, both on the floor and as backsplash.
Though a formal dining room may be missing, the sizable breakfast area should accommodate most kitchen parties.
The single bath makes good use of space, allowing for both a bathtub and separate shower area. Say what you will about the tiles, but I think the green and black work well together.
Both the master and second bedroom may be small by today’s standards, but each charms with tasteful window treatments and a flood of natural light.
If outdoor entertaining is your thing, or you just enjoy sunshine, the backyard offers a perfect combination of social floorspace and fauna.
