Quite possibly one of LA's greatest bachelor pads!! A friend of mine used to own this property and I had the opportunity to really experience how special and unique this architectural gem is. Designed by one of my favorite master architects, John Lautner, the property is perched above Mulholland Drive with iconic panoramic city views. The suspended wood ceiling feels like they are floating, and the walls of glass bring the views right into the room. Its western wall glides out and opens the living room to the outside pool and deck turning the home into an open pavilion for entertaining in turn LA style. One-of-a-kind! - Markus
Marketing Description:
The Foster Carling Residence, 1947-1950 by John Lautner FAIA. Perched
atop a knoll in the Hollywood Hills with framed views of downtown,
across the city and into the valley, this home showcases Lautner at his
best. The hexagonal designed roof is suspended by external steel masts
allowing for floor to ceiling walls of glass helping to blur the line
between indoors and out. The pool enters into the heart of the living
room bisected by a glass wall that opens and closes with a push of a
button. The Western wall with it's built in sofa was designed to swing
out onto the deck to create the Hikea, a Hawaiian term for "platform of
gatherings." Gorgeous redwood walls, polished concrete floors and
interior rock features help create this amazing setting. The iconic
Carling Residence is considered to be one of Lautner's greatest designs.
