For $1.2M, You Can Score a Landmark Craftsman Home in Los Angeles

The A.C. Tobias Residence, a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, has recently been listed for $1.2 million. Designed in 1908 by architects George J. Webster and Neal Dow Barker, the home serves as a prime example of the city's early 20th-century transition from agricultural land to a burgeoning metropolis. The property was originally built as the personal residence for developer Archibald Clark Tobias.

The current owners have meticulously renovated the home to honor its architectural heritage while updating essential living spaces. The residence retains its original dark wood millwork, a signature of the Arts and Crafts movement, alongside a classic brick fireplace and deep front porch. The property also features a detached studio and a drought-tolerant garden, blending historic character with modern, sustainable landscaping.
