While some families may pass along a professional career in sports or entertainment, architectural prowess runs in this family tree. Taking after his father Frank Lloyd Wright, Lloyd Wright brought a new level of sophistication to the modernist architecture movement. Using unique materials and emphasizing natural light, his notable work includes Wayfarers Chapel at Rancho Palos Verdes and the John Sowden House in Los Feliz. One of his other SoCal works has come to the market, asking just under $3 million.
Though Lloyd Wright, who was mainly active in Southern California and Los Angeles, has his own style, there is certainly a continuation of Usonian architecture in this home’s design. Experimenting with sleek lines and environmental harmony much like his father did across the country from Carmel to Oklahoma to Hudson Valley, Wright gave this circa-1948 residence a pristine mid-century modern design.
Complementing the tranquility of the diverse flora outside, a cohesive palette of rich wood colors and windows flow throughout the 3,100 square foot space. After all, the home is in California, so it’s only right to take advantage of indoor/outdoor entertaining.
Whether the new owners are a family looking to live somewhere unique, or an architecture aficionado seeking a getaway, there are four bedrooms and four bathrooms fit for all. The primary suite perfectly exemplifies the beauty of mid century modern design, employing rectangular floor-to-ceiling blue tiles to add another layer of depth.
If the beauty of the home alone isn’t enough to seal the deal, its benefits from the Mills Act Status, AKA tax savings, might be. Look to Sharon Verani and Mark Ogden of Sotheby’s International Realty for the listing.
