Gwyn Paltrow’s Cousin Hillary Danner Selling Historic Home
Actress Hillary Danner (cousin to Gwyneth Paltrow and niece of Blythe Danner) and husband Jason Renfro are selling their extremely beautiful Highland Park Craftsman home—to move a few doors down to an even larger extremely beautiful historic home. (The couple has already vacated, according to their agent).
The house is listed at $695,000 and is a 4/2 with 2,317 square feet—it’s also a registered Historic Monument. Although the couple never applied for the Mills Act, listing agent Robert Alan Hanson of Keller Williams Pasadena says he thinks it would be a “shoo in” for the tax break.
The house is on Professor Row in Highland Park – near the corner of Ave. 50 and Figueroa, where the original Occidental College once stood. In fact, the listing says it was built by Elizabeth Young Gordon, the wife of Occidental College’s Vice President in the late 1800′s. The street is a long block of historic Craftsman homes, in an area that Hanson says “has been in rapid transition for the past five years” with lots of trendy new shops and restaurants opening up.
The place will be open Sunday 2-5 pm and next Thursday from 10-2. It’s also featured in the the book Inside the Bungalow: America’s Arts and Crafts Interior. If you’re into Craftsmans, it’s a great chance to peek inside a bit of LA history.
