Frankie's Son

After 10 years and a complete restoration/upgrade, Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.'s Mayan temple on Franklin is back on the market.  Have you driven past it hundreds of times like I have, wondering WTF is behind those gates? Today I got my answer... It was a treat to see it today on Caravan; truly a wonderful piece of architecture... a lush homage to Mayan culture and just minutes from Jumbo's Clown Room!

7 Bedrooms. 4 Bathrooms. 5,600 SF. 14,630 Lot. Built in 1927. $4,200,000.

If you want to buy it...  Shoot me an email!

Harwell Hamilton Harris, Architect: The Lee and Mary Blair Residence, 1939

This Modernist retreat, back on the market after 56 years was just reduced from $725K.  Harwell Hamilton Harris, a protege of Schindler and Neutra developed his own, distinct voice, prominent throughout the "mid-century." He opened his own practice in 1933, so this residence remains a great example of his early solo work. Unbound by the conventions of a formal architectural education, his modular style seems to be emblematic of an untamed, artist's potential.

Hollywood Hills. 2 Bedrooms. 1.5 Baths. 1,250 SF. 17,070 SF lot. Yours for only $675K.

Hurst-Locker!


THIS HOUSE IS THE BOMB!  3437 Glenhurst, a gorgeous craftsman in Atwater was a major standout in this week’s lineup and believe me, I saw everything today.  The variety was seriously impressive, with homes ranging from a $5 million property in Beachwood Canyon to a $399K home with 5 one-car garages near Downtown LA. 

Atwater Village is one of those pockets of LA real estate that seems to have weathered the storm well.  Maybe it is due to the fact that cool retail and restaurant options have emerged at its borders.  Maybe it’s because unlike so many other parts of the city Atwater really feels like a neighborhood. You know what I mean… a real neighborhood replete with wide, tree-lined streets, neighbors waving at each other seeming genuinely happy to see each other and dogs.  Yes dogs.  They are being walked everywhere you look.

Why this property?  It’s a gem for many reasons.  First of all it has appeal from every angle (curb or otherwise).  It has been meticulously renovated with such obvious care and concern for its history.  It maintains all of the original details that make it charming, but has been upgraded to feel fresh and new. Unlike most homes of the era, this one is filled with light.

From the restored vintage stove to the picture hanging moldings one can’t help being brought back to a bygone era when quality materials were of supreme importance and exceptional craftsmanship was the norm, not the exception.

The grounds are whimsically landscaped. There is a gorgeous detached garage boasting wonderful barn doors and a separate back workroom that could easily be converted to “something else.” Trees line the street; character oozes from every pore and the staging is impeccable.  I defy anyone to not love this house!  I dig it!   www.mintzRE.com
