The Clark Residence is available for the first time on the market since it was built in 1959. The original home was designed by Fredrick Liebhardt with an addition by Homer Delawie. Liebhardt, a master architect and an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, designed this home in the style of Usonian Architecture for Jim and Amelia Clark. Jim was an artist/professor, and they raised their family here. Set on a private, extensive lot (0.28 acres) in San Diego’s vibrant Mission Hills neighborhood, this mid-century modern gem is in original and vintage condition, perfect for the architectural enthusiast. Highlighting the original character and allure, the 4-bedroom residence features iconic post-and-beam redwood construction, with an indoor-outdoor connection and clerestory windows, and unparalleled craftsmanship and attention to detail displayed in every room, including custom built-ins that are signature designs of Liebhardt. An open-concept layout in the living room creates a wow moment with a light and bright atmosphere, enhanced by mahogany wood finishes next to floor-to-ceiling picture windows and sliding glass doors, as you enjoy views of the mature pine trees. Abundant wood cabinetry awaits the avid chef beyond the kitchen’s pass-through opening. Much of the home lives on a single story at street level, but up a short flight of stairs, you'll find one of the private bedrooms which was originally designed as an artist studio and added on by Delawie in the mid 1960s. Outside, the secluded pool and garden offer the ideal venue for gatherings inspired by California’s quintessential lifestyle. Adding further appeal is the potential property tax savings you can seek through the Mills Act, increasing its unique value. Other notable features include a cozy wood-burning fireplace, an open-air atrium in the center of the home, an heirloom Edranol avocado tree, and an attached 2-car garage with driveway parking. A fantastic location means Pioneer Park, restaurants, beaches, the I-5 freeway, and San Diego International Airport are just moments away. Take advantage of this rare and incredible opportunity while it’s still available!
