153 S BURLINGAME AVE, LOS ANGELES 90049

"I have long been a fan of those few architects whose work is both modern and distinctive. Ricardo Legorreta remains a favorite architect of mine for just this reason. I remember many years ago while in Mexico City being introduced to his work and then later being invited to a party at one of the great homes Legorreta built in Los Angeles for actor Ricardo Montalban above the sunset strip and being forever impacted by the power of its huge, bold, and colorful structure. It was a very intriguing home which made you want to explore its every detail.

Casa Shapiro by Ricardo Legorreta, embodies the mystery and dramatic modern volumes that make the 3/4 arce compound with its plazas and gardens a prime example of the architect’s work and mastery. It appears like a modern shrine or sculptural art piece. If you are looking for a rare and one-of-a-kind property, look no further. It’s a must see and a special real estate offering" -Markus
