Here on Luxury LA Homes we focus mainly on high end real estate in the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood. So it’s not often we venture west of the 405 to highlight a Home of the Week. But sometimes a house is beautiful, important or unique enough for us to expand our boundaries. The Warwick Evans House by Lloyd Wright qualifies for all three.
Located in prime Brentwood Heights, the four bedroom three and a half bath home was built in 1936 for noted cellist and co-founder of the London String Quartet, Charles Warwick Evans. Since then, it has been lovingly and, according to its current television executive owners, painstakingly restored and maintained.
The 3,161 square foot home and stunning grounds are worthy of the “Masterpiece” moniker.
Remarkably, the house features an open floor plan and “significant indoor/outdoor living space”, both of which are well before their time.
The home follows firmly and proudly in Frank Lloyd Wright footsteps by featuring many of his signatures: original cypress doors and panels, pristine restored Brazilian walnut wood flooring, stone fireplaces, Texas limestone, and casement windows & doors.
The Chef’s kitchen is flooded with light by a period perfect skylight. Recently remodeled, it features a large center island, 6 burner top Wolf range and oven, a double Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and a large service pantry.
The outdoor space is simply stunning. “Graced by a Mayan-inspired fountain and Koi pond, glorious landscaping, and tranquil streams, which flow over nearly a half-acre of land.” Bluestone terraces & pathways offer more signature FLW Jr. architecture.
The property has been widely featured in print, including gracing the cover of ‘Architectural Digest’.
Listing courtesy of Hilton & Hyland. The property last sold in 2007 for $3.875 million, current asking price $5.295 million.
