Property Description

PRICE REDUCED! Historians rejoice, as you are about to view the personal residence of one of the most influential early 20th Century American architects, Henry L.A. Jekel (1876-1960). Most of his architectural styles, such as art deco-style leaded glass windows & wrought iron railings/ fixtures with an overall aesthetic quality, are highly evident on this property, which he built exclusively for himself, where he lived with his wife until he died in 1960. This Spanish Colonial Revival home in the historic "Wood Streets" neighborhood is divided into two separate units (which could easily be modified –via existing doorway from left side kitchen– into one large 2800 sq ft residence), along with Jekel’s studio, which was once attached to the garage & is now a complete self-contained guest house. The left side (5063) of the main house (where Jekel resided) was built in 1920, and the right side (with prominent bell tower) was added for his “attendant” in 1933. There are a total of 5 bds & 5 bths (2 full, one 3/4, 2 half), with just under 3,500 sq ft which includes the guest house. 5063 Magnolia: 2 bds/1.5 bths, central air/heat, vintage kitchen, hardwood flrs, fireplace, numerous art deco leaded glass window accents, indoor laundry. 5043 Magnolia: 2 bds/1.5 bths, central heat only, vintage kitchen, original hardwood flrs, fireplace, bell tower, & stained glass windows. Guest House: 1 bd & 3/4 bath, kitchen, living room. This property's been owned by only 3 families in its 98 years!
