About this home
Built in 1912 by M.S. Long and designed by renowned architects Hagloch & Potter, this once-stately residence is ready for new owners to complete its renovation and restore its historic grandeur. Steeped in history, the home was later owned by Murray Parker—a cowboy, grocer, lawyer, legislator, commissioner, and restauranteur. The first floor showcases original red oak woodwork, fireplaces in both the living and dining rooms, pocket and French doors, and a striking carved staircase. The study was converted to a bedroom with full bath, and additional gathering spaces include a bright east-facing sun porch and a cozy den. The kitchen has been fully gutted, awaiting your custom design. Upstairs, you’ll find red gum (eucalyptus) floors, a large owner’s suite with fireplace, a secondary ensuite, another bedroom with attached sun porch, plus a family bath, cedar closet, and maid’s closet (perfect for future laundry). The third floor offers two bedrooms, a bath, a spacious bonus room, and a linen room with built-ins. The property spans 1.65 acres in a secluded neighborhood near Wallhaven and Highland Square. Seven garages provide ample storage, including two with a roughed-in carriage apartment above. This historic home offers extraordinary potential—bring your vision and make it your own.
