The most famous home to sell this week in Los Angeles

The Ennis House just sold for $18,000,000 in the Los Feliz hills.

The home was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for Charles and Mabel Ennis and was built in 1924.

The design of the house was based on the ancient Maya Temples and its notable detail is the relief ornamentation on its 27,000 perforated and patterned decomposed granite blocks.

Filmmakers flocked to its location. The home shot to fame when the exterior façade was used for the House on Haunted Hill in 1958, but it is most known for being in the movie Blade Runner and the TV show Buffy the Vampire Slayer (one of my favorite shows growing up!).

The house was included as one of the top ten houses of all time in Los Angeles Times, and is a designated California Historical Landmark, and a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.
