Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a true piece of Los Angeles history. Nestled in the heart of the West Adams Terrace HPOZ, the iconic Alice Lynch House is designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 621. Designed in 1922 for poet Alice Lynch by two Los Angeles legends, architect Harwood Hewitt, a prominent figure in the Spanish Colonial and Mediterranean Revival movements, and renowned tile maker turned adobe builder John Byers, celebrated for landmarks including the Bradbury House and the Miles Memorial Playhouse. This extraordinary residence is a masterclass in Spanish Colonial Revival architecture. Thoughtfully updated for modern living while preserving its remarkable architectural integrity, the home seamlessly blends historic character with contemporary comfort.A sun-drenched entry showcases the home's exceptional tilework and custom built-ins before opening into the breathtaking living room, where soaring wood-beamed ceilings, original hardwood floors milled from a single hand-selected tree by the architect, and a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace create an unforgettable first impression. Graceful arches frame the central courtyard, while French doors blur the line between indoor and outdoor living, filling the home with abundant natural light.The beautifully renovated kitchen honors the home's historic charm with custom stucco cabinetry, mahogany butcher block countertops, a built-in breakfast nook, and a pass-through window to the courtyard, creating the perfect setting for effortless entertaining. The flexible four-bedroom, three-bath floor plan features beautifully renovated bathrooms and offers exceptional versatility for modern living. Outside, newly enhanced landscaping and a custom built-in seating area surround a magnificent mature cactus, the sculptural centerpiece of the lush backyard, which also features a tranquil water feature and a prolific avocado tree. Whether dining beneath the arches, gathering around the fire pit, or relaxing in the serene courtyard, every outdoor space has been thoughtfully designed to celebrate the home's timeless beauty.Naturally energy efficient thanks to its original adobe construction, the Alice Lynch House is a truly extraordinary offering that masterfully blends history, craftsmanship, and modern comfort. As one of the few remaining historic adobe residences in Los Angeles, it represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to own an irreplaceable architectural treasure.
