An Irving Gill marvel in the heart of Hillcrest (Circa)
Real estate, Hillcrest
Historic Hillcrest Mansion for Sale
By Frank Sabatini Jr.
A mere $5.2 million can have you living within walls that are more than 100 years old at the beautiful four-bedroom, five-bathroom home built in 1906 by famed architect Irving Gill.
Located at 3526 Seventh Ave, on the northwest lip of Balboa Park, the single-family house sits on a 13,950-square-foot lot and boasts tranquil gardens, avocado trees, and koi ponds to make urban living a little more restful—if not uber posh. The house’s condition is rated as “impeccable.”
The structure carries historic designation and flaunts a cubic Prairie Style architecture that Gill partially adopted when building four other homes a block away on Eighth Avenue. Those, too, still stand.
