This historic Rancho Santa Fe residence, designed in 1928 by renowned architect Lilian Rice, was acquired as an investment property with the intention of thoughtfully restoring, reimagining, and ultimately reselling the home. Liz Tapper Interiors served as design consultants throughout the transformation, helping preserve the integrity of Rice’s architectural legacy while introducing refined, livable updates for modern living. The property ultimately resold for 381% above its original purchase price, demonstrating the value of a considered approach to historic preservation, design, and investment.
