Silver Lake Real Estate

Take a look at this newly listed 1920′s California Bungalow.

1447 PORTIA St Los Angeles, CA 90026
Listing Price: $379,000

Turn-key ready, this 644 sq. foot, 2 bed, 1 bath home features wood floors, crown molding, custom window coverings, stackable washer/dryer, central air/heat and copper plumbing.  It’s conveniently located near Elysian Park, Dodger Stadium, and the trendy shops and restaurants on Sunset Avenue.

Just a few blocks down Sunset, and Lemoyne, is a fabulous “Mom & Pop” restaurant called Masa of Echo Park.  It is the place to go for deep-dish, Chicago-style pizza!

The building, where Masa is located, was built just one year before this home on Portia Street.  It’s brief history, of use, includes:

1920′s Automobile Shop / Dealership (selling the Roadster!)
1930′s – 50′s Carty Bros. Bon Ton Market & Van De Kamps Bakery
1960′s – 70′s Sarnos Family / Carmelli’s Italian Bakery, Market and Coffee Shop
1970′s – 90′s El Carmelo / Carmelo’s Cuban Restaurant & Bakery
2004 – Present Masa of Echo Park Bakery & Cafe

Just imagine the history of this house.  How many families have called this house “home”?  What did these people do for a living?  Did the first resident test drive a Roadster from this local dealership?  Did they frequent Carmelli’s Bakery?  If walls could talk!
