Architecturally Stunning Home Designed by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.
1210 Journey's End, designed by none other than Frank Lloyd Wright Jr., the son of the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, is a fine example of Usonian architecture that emphasizes harmony and calm.
This 1948 architectural marvel is nestled away in a gorgeous location in La Canada, California. It has 3,172 square feet of well built space with 4 bedrooms. The building's form highlights its horizontal lines with ribbed concrete walls and stunning rooflines. Due to the wide use of glass panels and the building's low-slung height, which makes it easy for it to fit in with the surroundings, the interiors of the structure are abundantly lit by natural light.
Similar to how they are in many of the homes that Lloyd Wright Jr. and his father created, the garden spaces are as much a part of the building's charm as the actual architectural design. A water garden, native plants, and mature hedgerows are all home to a plethora of species and biodiversity. Winding walkways lead to an original built-in BBQ and a concrete patio with diagonal scoring.
Three distinct areas—a living space, a kitchen-dining area, and a bedroom wing—are split among the open floor plan. The living room was built in the shape of a geometric hexagon and features a gorgeous handcrafted asymmetric fireplace and a large window overlooking the yard. There is a comfortable library in the home with built-in bookcases and a couch. The kitchen has a 6-burner Viking stove that complements the stainless steel surfaces and black walnut cabinets. High-end appliances and careful design are combined there. The master bedroom is a cleverly planned space with its huge horizontal windows, walk-through wardrobe, and en-suite bathroom.
This house qualifies for Mills Act classification under the Mills Act because it is assessed to be of great enough architectural value to qualify. It is ideally adjacent to La Canada, a picturesque part of downtown Los Angeles where superb schools, stores, and restaurants are accessible. Customers who have always desired to live in a piece of art now have a rare opportunity with this house.
