Architecturally significant homes can sell for a pretty penny, which appears to be the thinking behind this L.A. listing.
The John Lautner-designed home known as the “Garcia House” has hit the market with an asking price of $16 million.
Built in 1962, one of L.A.’s most significant Midcentury homes has since been updated with a historic restoration by Marmol Radziner, including adding a pool using Lautner’s original design. The spaceship-esque home boasts three bedrooms and three baths across nearly 2,600 square feet of living space.
With a focus on preserving original details and functionality, the refreshed home boasts a number of timeless features including a lava rock entryway, original terrazzo flooring, signature parabolic roof, a 55-foot wall of windows, and 60-foot caissons elevating the structure above the canyon, showcasing breathtaking panoramic views of Los Angeles. A descent down the hillside steps brings you through the verdant garden, designed by landscape architect John Sharp, to the aforementioned pool.
Aaron Kirman and Weston Littlefield of Christie’s hold the listing.
