500 N Madison Avenue: A Fully Remodeled East Hollywood Home for $899,000 — Under $1M, Minutes from Silver Lake
There is a number that stops Eastside buyers in their tracks: $899,000.
In a part of Los Angeles where the typical home now lists well above a million dollars, 500 N Madison Avenue is a fully remodeled 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, offered under $1 million — with Silver Lake within walking distance and Los Feliz a short drive away.
Set just steps from a newly updated park, this home brings together comfort, convenience, and lasting style. And the honest answer to “what's the catch?” is that there isn't one hiding in the walls. This home was renovated from the inside out — new wiring, new plumbing, a new 200-amp panel, new HVAC, new windows — and it is ready to move into. No projects. No “bring your contractor.” Just a finished home, on a gated lot, across the street from a park, for $899,000.
500 N Madison Avenue
Los Angeles, CA 90004 · Single level · ~3,000 sq ft lot
Same Eastside life. A very different price.
Madison offers the reservoir walks, the cafés, and the short drive to Los Feliz — for roughly half the price of a typical Los Feliz home. Priced at $899,000, it also sits $85,500 below its Zestimate® of $984,500.
“Renovated from the inside out” — actually done.
“Remodeled” is one of the most overused words in Los Angeles listings. At Madison, it means the expensive, invisible work was actually finished — the four upgrades buyers usually pay for themselves after closing.
Upgraded electrical throughout the home.
New plumbing throughout — not just fixtures.
Central A/C and forced-air heating.
Bright interiors with a city lights view.
Inside, the home keeps its 1946 Traditional character — a single-level layout, wood and tile floors, and a living-room fireplace — with a renovated kitchen fitted with a stove, oven, dishwasher, and range hood, and updated bathrooms. The first five years here are not a renovation schedule. They are just living in the house.

The front yard is fully enclosed and gated, with automatic sprinklers and privacy hedges. The carport sits behind its own gate. Across the street is a small, recently updated park — somewhere to walk the dog, somewhere for kids to run, somewhere green to look at from the front windows.
