2018 Lake Shore Ave

Built in 1926 and tucked high above the street on a long private driveway, this secluded Echo Park compound offers rare privacy, expansive outdoor space, and classic hillside character. The 1,924-square-foot home includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on an approximately quarter-acre lot filled with mature plants, old cactuses, and multiple outdoor areas for relaxing, dining, or gathering. The property includes a separate outbuilding studio and a cold-water outdoor shower, creating a retreat-like atmosphere that feels removed from the city while remaining in the heart of Echo Park. Hillside sunset views, layered gardens, and the sense of being hidden among the landscape give the home a uniquely peaceful feel. A rare combination of vintage Los Angeles charm, creative space, and indoor-outdoor living. The home can be rented partially furnished or unfurnished.
