Property Description

Historic Craftsman on a 17,000+ sq ft street-to-street lot in the coveted Garvanza HPOZ, complete with Mills Act property tax savings. Originally built for banker Frank R. Liddell, the first President of the Painter's Club, this early-1900s residence presents an extraordinary opportunity to restore, expand, and reimagine a historic property with exceptional potential. Perched above the street, the home retains classic Craftsman character, including hardwood floors, period details, three fireplaces, a dramatic living room, a wood-paneled parlor overlooking mature gardens, and a spacious dining room. The main level also includes a kitchen with oversized pantry, breakfast room, mudroom, and powder room. Upstairs features five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a convenient laundry closet. Wood accents, warm lighting, and hillside views create an inviting retreat. The expansive street-to-street lot offers rare scale and flexibility. Lush, established gardens form a private oasis, with mature fig and citrus trees providing shade, fragrance, and abundant harvests. With its rich architectural legacy, valuable Mills Act tax savings, and generous lot size, this property offers a compelling opportunity to restore and enhance a historic Craftsman into a premier Highland Park estate. Ideally located just moments from neighborhood favorites including Highly Likely, Cookbook Market, and Highland Park Bowl, the property offers both historic significance and access to the vibrant lifestyle that has made Highland Park one of the city's most sought-after communities.
