A long lost Lautner! Designed by world-famous Architect John Lautner, and built in 1948 with one owner for 65 years, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath Mid-century marvel is just minutes from downtown Los Angeles, resting on one of the most sought-after hillside view lots in Echo Park. The internationally-renowned, iconic American designer’s hidden gem on the hilltop captures the famous open, glass-walled feel of the Lautner classics which – along with masterpieces from Wright, Neutra and Schindler – helped re-define 20th century architecture and the use of light and space in personal living. With an infinity ceiling and amazing views toward Western sunsets behind the Hollywood Sign and Griffith Observatory, the interplay of sunshine and air – as peaceful breezes waft up from the quiet canyon below – refreshes the senses and lifts the spirit. This private, cul-de-sac retreat is truly your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history in a simultaneously serene and spectacular setting! (The adjacent, mostly flat, hillside lot, with almost 10,000sf and similarly spectacular views, is listed separately. Also, please note, Broker-Associate is one of several principles in the transaction.)
