Walk west from Echo Park Ave on Delta St. and go up the stairs to the top of the hill to Lucretia. Here (besides great views) you will find a 1920s Spanish Colonial home that was recently restored to its period glory (some real estate agents refer to these super-cute homes as "emotional spanish," hoping buyers will give up common sense to make an offer.) . New and repaired wood windows and a fresh coat of smooth stucco (not that lumpy stuff that collects dust) give this home a refined look. Hope the wood-sided cottage across the street and next to the stairs gets an equally impressive renovation.
