I saw this new listing in the hills of Echo Park yesterday. The charming 1-bedroom, 1-bath home was built in 1910 and also includes a 1-bedroom and bath guest cottage.
The residence maintains original architectural details, like this stone fireplace in the living room, but also includes updated amenities and systems.
There are large windows throughout, letting in the California sunshine and canyon views.
de LaB Echo Park House Tour
There are so many great home tours coming up this spring, and I’m particularly excited about De LaB’s S, M, L, Xl Echo Park House Tour on Saturday, March 24th. The self-directed, walkable tour features four diverse examples of architecture designed to maximize the livability of Echo Park. In a neighborhood that’s typically known for bungalows and stucco, these homes feature contemporary design and efficient living. All the homes on the tour are within walking distance from each other, so grab a pair of comfortable shoes and hit the streets to explore the 4 houses: one small, one medium, one large and one extra-large.
SMALL: John Oddo’s 495 square foot house designed by Good Idea Studio was featured in the Los Angeles Times last year as an example of inspired design in a small space. Don’t be fooled by its diminutive size; its thoughtful design maximizes the space.
MEDIUM: Simon Storey‘s Eel’s Nest is just 960 square feet. Even more remarkably, it’s on a 780 square foot lot. Check out how Storey manages to make a house just 15 feet wide feel remarkably spacious.
LARGE: You might remember the side-by-side townhomes dubbed Dick+Jane from when we wrote about them on Take Sunset last March, and Rob ended up selling one of them as well. They are about 1,600 square feet each and on the tour, you’ll be visiting one of them, developed by brothers Kevin and Harde Wronske of Heyday Partnership.
X-LARGE: The first model of designer/developer Jerome Pelayo’s newly debuted sustainable and modern Sunia Homes is in Echo Park–a 2,000 square foot home featuring green amenities such as solar panels, grey and rainwater harvesting systems, a wood pellet stove, and bamboo flooring.
The tour runs from noon to 4pm. After the tour, there will be a happy hour at newly opened Red Hill restaurant in Echo Park. Owner Jason Michaud will be offering food and drink specials to tour ticket holders that day. Tickets are $35 a person and must be purchased in advance. There’s also a limited number of early bird tickets available for $30 a person until March 10th. Go here to purchase tickets. For more information on the tour and to volunteer to be a tour docent, go here.

SUPER iam8bit In Echo Park
SUPER iam8bit opened last Thursday at the recently renovated iam8bit headquarters in Echo Park. Over 100 artists have reimagined their 80′s gaming fantasies through paintings, sculpture and other interactive media.
The inaugural iam8bit show in 2005, was one of the most popular group art exhibition in Los Angeles. It won accolades from dozens of publications, like LA Weekly’s “Best Art Show” and received media attention from CNN, MSNBC, Playboy, G4 and MTV. The book “iam8bit: Art Inspired by Classic Video Games of the ’80s” highlighted key pieces from the original show and became one of the best-selling video game-themed books of all time.
This year’s show is bigger and bolder than before, and is housed in a 4,500 square foot event space–nearly 5 times the size of the original show. It also includes a new book documenting this year’s event, “SUPER iam8bit: More Art Inspired By Classic Video Games of the ’80s”. Other highlights include: a special tribute to Galaga’s 30th anniversary featuring the world’s largest “arcade cabinet”; the transformation of the entire gallery into an 80′s gaming wonderland by designer decal collective BLIK; an interactive, “retro-fied” Kinect hack from Double Fine super-artist Drew Skillman; and much, much more!
The show runs until September 10, 2011, so check it out. For updates, follow them on twitter @iam8bitshow.

Earlier this month, I gave you guys a sneak peek of my new listing, a newly rehabbed Echo Park bungalow. Now it’s officially on the market!
Built in 1905, this two-on-a-lot duplex features a remodeled, 1,279 square foot, 3 bedroom, 2 bath front house with an open floor plan and modern feel. The 674 square foot back house is tenant-occupied with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. This is a great opportunity to live in a gorgeous home and earn additional income to help pay the mortgage.
The main house offers lots of upgrades, including central heat and a/c, all new plumbing and electrical, tankless water heater, high-end finishes, stainless steel GE appliances, Kohler bathroom fixtures, and much more. The remodel was done by All That Is Solid, who just won the Envisioning Silver Lake Design Competition for the new plaza and monument at Silver Lake’s Sunset Junction.
Cookbook In Echo Park
Shopping at a giant supermarket chain can be pretty bleak. Navigating the parking lot alone can be a crazy-making experience! Heading to the corner store means you can walk, but it might also mean dinner is a 711 hot dog, which is probably not organic…
Green grocer Cookbook in Echo Park is the perfect answer. Owned by Marta Teegan (trained chef, master gardener, and author of Homegrown: A Growing Guide for Creating a Cook’s Garden) and Robert Stelzner, Cookbook sells local, responsibly grown vegetables, meat, cheese, bread, fruit, herbs, coffee, chocolate, and other goodies. Even though the shop is small, they have everything you need to put together a perfect meal, plus some decadent extras.
And for lazy people (me included), there’s fresh pasta, sauce and sandwiches from Heirloom LA, and a daily selection of prepared foods from featured cookbooks, hence the name!
