Frank Lloyd Wright House for Sale… In California
We actually do have a few Frank Lloyd Write homes right here in Kansas City, but this one is for sale in the Hills of Los Angeles. In seeing the photo I never would have guessed it to be a Wright design, as he forgoes his iconic prairie style for a stucco home resembling a Mayan temple. This is how the interior is described in this npr.org feature story:
An excellent description of space and light; I would love to visit this iconic home.

This house has been in a bunch of movies, including the 1959 classic House On Haunted Hill with Vincent Price, Blade Runner, Black Rain, and The Replacement Killers, among others.
It’s a cool house, but I’d be leery of buying it if for no other reason than it certainly appears to be doing its best to slide off the hill. Architecture in the LA hills can be quite a challenge, and the Ennis House is definitely that.
