A bohemian oasis is now up for grabs in the middle of L.A. Nestled in the trendy enclave of Echo Park, the bucolic, 6,428-square-foot lot comprises a pair of one-bedroom bungalows, each dating back to the 1920s.

Tucked away in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Echo Park, 1623 Landa Street contains two, century-old bungalows. Here is a look at the living spaces inside one of the two homes.
