2416 ECHO PARK Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90026

Property Description

One-of-a-kind Elysian Heights 4-plex, home for almost 45 years to Los Angeles' first woman City Council member--the socialist/feminist/journalist Estelle Lawton Lindsey. Built as a single family in 1907, the redwood residence is emblematic of its California Craftsman roots. A new redwood fence and two entry gates at the street frame the secluded hilltop setting. Terraced front and back yards engage the sweeping views north to the San Gabriels and east to Mt Baldy. Much of the original wood detailing, paneling and flooring remains. One unit even retains handcrafted copper detailing on the floor, walls and built-in bookcases. The 2-story building is comprised of three 1BR units and one 2BR unit, each with a unique floor plan, and has been an inspirational setting for writers, professors, dancers and other artists over the years. Units 2416 (1BR/1.5 BA) and 2418-1/2 (2BR/2BA) are vacant.
