Just listed on the MLS — I designed the garden/patio for this cute Echo Park 2 bedroom/2 bath house on a corner lot, three years ago. It’s a short walk to Mohawk Bend, Bar Bandini, Elf, Crossfit, yoga and all the bars/restaurants on Sunset. If you want more info on the property let me know! It’s not my listing but I’m happy to show it.
