<\/p>\n

A few blocks off the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles lies this 2,518-square-foot home<\/a> with a serious architectural pedigree.<\/p>\n

Lloyd Wright<\/strong>\u2014son of one of the world\u2019s most famous architects, Frank Lloyd Wright<\/strong>\u2014designed the home, referred to as the Henry O. Bollman Residence. He conceptualized the house after collaborating with his father on the Hollyhock House,<\/a> also in L.A. This was the younger Wright\u2019s second independent commission.<\/p>\n

The standout residence, completed in 1922, is on Los Angeles\u2019 Historic-Cultural Monument list. The home is available for $3,198,000.<\/p>\n

\u201cHere we are, 100 years after it was built, and so much of it is intact,\u201d says listing agent\u00a0Nathaniel Cole<\/strong>, of Modern California House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Among the home\u2019s preserved architectural features are patterned-concrete blocks and a nod to Mesoamerican architecture.<\/p>\n

Some of its hallmark features include a private patio; four, light-filled bedrooms; and two vintage-inspired paths, according to the listing.<\/p>\n

The sellers have occupied the home since 2014, when they purchased it for $1.9 million, property records show.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe systems are all in good shape,\u201d Cole notes. \u201cIt\u2019s really just a move-in-ready house. Often you have a house like this, but it\u2019s a lot to take on. This is a really buttoned-up, cared-for house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Previous to the current owners, interior designer Mimi London<\/a><\/strong> owned the home. Her design work on the space landed the house on two Architectural Digest covers, in 1987 and 1996. According to the 1987 article, when she purchased the home, it had been poorly cared for. She removed the screened-in porch, which was not part of the original design, and restored the rest of the house.<\/p>\n

Overall, the property\u2019s design DNA is evident.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s impossible to not see [Lloyd] through the lens of his father,\u201d Cole says. \u201cThis house shows him going in his own direction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Set on an 8,100-square-foot lot, the landscaping is equally enticing\u00a0and features elements of Wright\u2019s original landscape plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s some really massive grouping of large, black birds of paradise,\u201d Cole says. \u201cThey\u2019ve definitely put a good amount of effort into [the garden].\u201d<\/p>\n

The landscape also features a large trumpet vine and two tall palms.<\/p>\n

Tucked into L.A.\u2019s Sunset Square neighborhood, the home\u2019s locale provides the best of two worlds.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s filled with older homes, but you\u2019re just blocks from the Sunset Strip,\u201d Cole says. \u201cYou\u2019ve got all these Hollywood tour buses going down Hollywood Boulevard, and then it\u2019s calm [where the house is]. You\u2019re right in the mix. It\u2019s walkable, in a way you don\u2019t typically think of in L.A.\u201d<\/p>\n

Will only architecture lovers spring for this home? Or will it be a Hollywood star?<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people who have called from all over the country for it,\u201d Cole reports. \u201cIt lends itself well to sort of an avant-garde character living in it. Someone who has a unique personality is drawn to these houses.\u00a0People you see with Frank Lloyd Wright houses\u2014they understand the importance of preserving.\u201d<\/p>\n
