2232 Lake Shore Ave – Echo Park Cottage for Sale
Vintage Charm and Views in a Tiny Home Echo Park Retreat
Tucked into the hills of Elysian Heights, this 1923 Echo Park cottage is a rare gem—compact in size, but full of warmth and soul. With just one bedroom and one bathroom, the home’s 462 square feet are beautifully laid out and packed with character.
Vintage details include hardwood floors, a classic O'Keefe & Merritt stove, clawfoot tub, and light-filled living spaces that frame tranquil hillside views. This is the kind of home that feels like a storybook hideaway in the heart of LA’s east side.

Outside, the gardens blend native plants and cactus, with several tucked-away spots perfect for entertaining or enjoying the quiet surroundings. Side yards, a covered porch, and serene views of the hills create a peaceful, private atmosphere.
A bonus space below the house functions as a laundry area and offers additional storage—rare for a home of this size.
Located in a tightly held enclave of Echo Park, you’re just minutes from neighborhood favorites like Cookbook, Valerie, Canyon Coffee, and Sunset Blvd, as well as Elysian Park and the Silver Lake Reservoir.
Whether you're downsizing, dreaming of a minimalist lifestyle, or looking for a creative pied-à-terre, this special hillside retreat offers a rare opportunity to live small—and live beautifully.
