Liebermann House
Architect Daniel Liebermann, one of Frank Lloyd Wright’s renowned pupils, made a lasting impact on Northern California’s architecture scene—and you can now own one of the pieces responsible for this fame for $2,795,000.
The tale of the house begins when Liebermann built this house for his parents in 1962, and simultaneously built another one for himself right next door. He re-milled a railroad bridge from Ukiah, California, and used the wood for both of the houses, while also salvaging windows from World War II bomber planes. However, a year after he completed the homes, his parents moved back to Switzerland, while he remained living in his house next door. After his parents rented out the house for a while, they ended up selling it to Jay Little’s parents in 1967, who moved in with their 5 children.
Because these two homes were Liebermann’s first residential buildings—which he completed when he was just 28 years old—he held a special connection with them that lasted until he passed away in October 2015.

Liebermann built the dining table himself, which is clearly inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s furniture. Little told us that the corners were so sharp to begin with, that he rounded out them out to make it work better for his large family, without losing the spirit of the table. It’s made with topical hardwood and is held together with epoxy joineries.

The only full privacy that exists in the main house—since everything is surrounded by glass—is in a cube that Liebermann placed in the center of the house. It’s seven feet tall, covered with a thin sheet of fiberglass to let the light stream in from a skylight, and holds two-and-a-half bathrooms. The woodworking here is done with a mahogany finish.
