SOLD | The Alice Lynch house was an immediate delight. Beautiful, particular, deeply considered, and still completely at ease with itself more than a century after it was built.

It is a house that asks for a certain kind of stewardship. Not reverence in the precious sense, but an understanding that it is never simply an object to possess.

What feels especially striking now is how relevant a house like this still feels to Los Angeles. A Spanish adobe house, built from materials and ideas that are naturally suited to this climate. A century later, in the middle of a climate crisis, that feels less like nostalgia and more like instruction. This is, in many ways, exactly the kind of house Los Angeles should be building, and the house’s designation as Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 621 feels less like an honor bestowed than a recognition of what was already there.

And all of that makes Alice Lynch herself even more intriguing. Who was this woman who, in 1922, had enough taste, means and architectural awareness to commission Harwood Hewitt and John Byers to make such a particular house. Very little about her seems to have survived, which makes the house feel even more compelling. The building remains as the clearest record of her eye and ambition.

A good home search accumulates slowly. By the time the right house appears, the decision can feel almost immediate, but only because of all the looking, talking and sitting with things that came before it.

The time my clients and I spent together exploring South Los Angeles, looking at houses, streets and enjoying local neighborhood spots rather than simply listings, had quietly done its work. By the time the this home appeared, they knew exactly what they were looking at. There was no need to be convinced of the value of what was in front of them. They were ready. Sometimes finding the right house is simply a matter of having looked long enough to recognize it when it finally appears.
LA has gained two wonderful new residents, and I have had the great luck of gaining two new friends. I could not be more excited to see the life they make here ❤️

It was a pleasure throughout @molly__kelley

JUST SOLD: 2414 4th Ave. | Sold in 3 days for $350,000 over the asking price. In a market as weird as this one, presentation, strategy and price are everything. 24 hours before going live on the market, we teased the house on Instagram, and within a few hours we had a full day of showings already booked for the first day of launch. Within three days of going live, we received multiple offers over the asking price and ultimately accepted a non-contingent offer for $350,000 over, from lovely buyers who really understood and appreciated what made the house so special. We created a highly targeted campaign to deliver this result for our sellers in the dead of summer, and we couldn’t be happier to have helped them successfully sell such a remarkable home that meant so much to them. Congratulations to our sellers, the very excited new owners and our always fab team agent @molly__kelley + @aieshabaileymannle on a successful deal all around. 🤝 🥂

On the market - Historic Adobe in Los Angeles

Alice Lynch House - Los Angeles Historic - Cultural Monument No. 621 in South LA’s West Adams Terrace HPOZ

A unique 1920’s adobe by architect Henry Hewett and architect / builder John Byers. The home forms a U around a central courtyard. Los Angeles has an incredible amount of Spanish Revival structures but few that are actually adobe. This one my favorite houses in all of LA - it is transportive, romantic and one of a kind.

Unrepresented buyers, if you are curious about this one or interested in historic or architectural properties, let’s chat.
