We spotted this 1928 Tudor Cottage in trendy Glassell Park and there are quite a few things about it that we think might make it a great fit for a first-time buyer. The one-bedroom residence has been renovated and is move-in ready, there is a cool converted attic space, and the gate provides a nice sense of privacy. The open layout feels bright and spacious, with hard surface floors and easy flow to the kitchen that is nicely appointed with granite countertops and backsplash. Amenities include recessed lighting, central air and heat, and a grassy yard for al fresco dining and play year-round. You are mere minutes away from Occidental College, Downtown LA, Old Town Pasadena, and just a short hop to all York Blvd’s hotspots. Offered at $649,000.  Learn more about this deal.
