Frank Lloyd Wright's Iconic Ennis House Listed By Billionaire

LOS ANGELES, CA — Perhaps the most iconic example of Frank Lloyd Wright's Mayan Revival homes, the Los Feliz Ennis House is on the market for $23 million after years of extensive renovation by billionaire grocery magnate Ron Burkle.

Towering above the city from a hillside perch abutting Griffith Park, the 1924 home was built with 27,000 patterned granite blocks, evoking a Mayan temple for retailer Charles Ennis and his wife Mabel. But the home was badly damaged in the Northridge earthquake, and it took the deep pockets of a billionaire to bring it back. According to Variety, Burkle bought it for $4.5 million in 2011 and poured almost $17 million in the home's stunning restoration.

Ornate, imposing and luxurious, the home is as much a sight to behold as the unrivaled view of the city it offers. The home boasts three bedrooms and a guest apartment, a screening/billiard room and a guest house and pool. It features a mosaic-tiled fireplace, and soaring ceilings. It's sold furnished, which in a Lloyd Wright home, often includes pieces originally designed as part of the house.

But, in truth, this home defies description. It's the pictures that do it justice.
