The Morales Residence aka The Phillips Residence, 1885. Step into the rich architectural heritage of Angelino Heights one of Los Angeles' oldest and most storied neighborhoods with this extraordinary Queen Anne and Eastlake Victorian, known as The Phillips Residence. Proudly designated as Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Monument No. 51, this home stands as a timeless example of craftsmanship and history, often regarded as the crown jewel of Carroll Avenue. Set on an expansive nearly 1/3-acre hilltop lot (16,042 sq ft) at the corner of Carroll Avenue and East Edgeware Road, the residence anchors the Carroll Avenue National Historic District home to many registered landmark homes and commands breathtaking city vistas. Beautifully preserved and lovingly maintained by the same family since 1941, this architectural treasure offers a rare opportunity to become the third owner in nearly 140 years. From its exquisite millwork and intricate spindle work to its stained and leaded-glass windows, turned posts, and decorative shingle textures, every detail reflects the artistry of a bygone era. Inside, the grand yet inviting floor plan flows gracefully from room to room, blending a sense of openness with the warmth and intimacy that define these historic homes. Soaring ceilings, rich woodwork, and generously sized rooms evoke the grace of the Victorian period, while the sunlight streaming through original stained glass adds a touch of magic throughout the day. The Phillips House was originally built for Aaron Phillips, an Iowa hardware merchant who relocated to Los Angeles in 1887. Designed under the direction of developers George O. Ford and James B. Myer, who were also responsible for several neighboring homes, the residence embodies the best of both the Queen Anne and Eastlake styles with the angular geometry of the latter and the exuberant ornamentation of the former. The gated grounds feature expansive gardens and ample space for outdoor entertaining or future restoration visions. The property's large double lot offers rare scale and privacy seldom found in Los Angeles' early historic neighborhoods. As captivating as a once-in-a-lifetime "barn find", this super rare generational estate awaits its next steward someone with the vision to restore and reimagine it for the next century, while honoring its remarkable past. Located in H.P.O.Z.
