Small but perfectly formed: The California home so tiny it looks more like a garden shed... but at $500,000 comes with a VERY Hollywood price tag

The 480 square feet bungalow in Los Feliz is currently on the market

Built in the 1920s, it comes with one bedroom, one bathroom and a very cute garden



What does half a million dollars buy you in one of Hollywood's trendiest neighborhoods? Not much, is the answer.



A petite property with one bedroom and one bathroom has been put on the market in California for a whopping $449,000.

At 480 square feet, the 1920s bungalow in Los Angeles comes with a bedroom, kitchen, living room and office, all flooded with 'abundant natural light' according to the broker .

There is also a kitschy, postage-stamp-sized garden. However the pictures, taken by photographer C harmaine David , show off the little home's dainty charms along with its minimalist decor and off-beat artwork.



The kitchen is decked out in patriotic blue, white and red while decorations include a Charlie Chaplin painting and bizarrely, a Jane Fonda workout book.

The interior of the home maximizes its shortage on space with built-in storage, shelving units and sliding doors.



The exorbitant price of the tiny home - which works out at $935 a square foot - could be to do with the home's desirable location.



The house is a stone's throw from Los Feliz village which is teeming with bars and restaurants.

The neighborhood is popular with the Hollywood A-list including January Jones, exes Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson and the Kardashians.

Comedian and Scream star Jamie Kennedy put his bachelor pad in Los Feliz on the market for $1.9million last summer which boasts 2,400 sq ft house and a pool.



Star Trek actor Chris Pine has a $3million 2,000 square foot-compound in the area while Kristen Stewart bought a ranch-style property for $2.2million.

Putting the celebrity factor aside, high-end estate agents warned in a recent report that exclusive neighborhoods across the U.S. are suffering a housing shortage.

According to figures from real estate firm Altos Research, a scarcity of housing inventory is especially prevalent in some of America’s wealthiest ZIP codes. Across the country’s 90 richest ZIP codes stock has fallen 15 per cent year-over-year, but in the very richest ZIP codes inventory has dropped more than 50 per cent year-over-year. In Carmel, California inventory of homes priced over $1 million drop 76 per cent. The California market, especially areas like Carmel and Pebble Beach, have seen a rush of buyers from Silicon Valley, Europe and Asia. ‘We are seeing an influx of luxury second home buyers coming into the market including venture capitalists, tech money, oil and gas, developers and CEO's,’ said Tim Allen, of Tim Allen Properties in Pebble Beach, told CNBC .
