absolutely mind boggling to think this place wasn't made in the 60s. So amazingly ahead of its time
@Ian Thomas Yea we know ,but you should re read the sentence Francoberry wrote.
@Ian Thomas Read it again.
Sure, it’s still ugly
@Ian Thomas my mother house was built in 1610.
Ahead?
That house would even be disgustingly ugly if built in the 60's.
This should be a museum, it doesn't have the HOME feeling
Define "home feeling".
I cannot agree with you more.
I completely agree and was thinking the same thing that it just doesn’t feel like a home!
Feels like a ghost house. Nobody will feel like they own the place completely. Would be a good Air BnB house.
you really have no idea
I really like this agent. She does a great job of describing the place and talking about the history but without the bragging and sales pitch that so many agents pull when they show a place, in real life or on tv.
Agreed! I'm a huge fan of Wright and similar from the same period, and was worried they might miss or ignore the importance of such a place. Nope!
That's funny cause I felt the opposite
@@sleepn_on_me2473 "Imagine your and your in this comment section..." Yeah. It wasn't architectural, it was just real estate-y. Higher calibre real estate than some random trying to selling you a 2-bedroom fibro shack, but still, real estate-y.
@@sleepn_on_me2473 Seriously, she was pushing her chest out the entire time and wearing 6 inch stilettos... I wonder who she slept with to get that listing.
@@do_regan She started the company with her husband.
Judging by all the comments, I guess I'm one of the few that adore this design. I love how the light-filled open spaces and dim "nooks and crannies" ebb and flow into each other. It feels monumental and intimate at the same time. It's like you're constantly exploring, and along the way you keep on finding cozy spaces that invite you to stop and reflect for a while.
Its like 2:10 went in one ear and out the other for those comments
I've always loved this house. It's my favorite of his.
This is the kind of house a James Bond villain would own.
Edward Gonzales facts!!!
DEAD HAHAHA
It does!! It's so cool
It is claimed that his other Mayan house on Franklin Street is where the Black Dahlia was murdered by a very notorious surgeon who had connections to powerful people in various industries including Hollywood and the Art world.. even law enforcement.. there's one or two documentaries about it .
"Welcome, Mr Bond. We hope you have a 'Present Fright'? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha."
Wow she's really done her research. I dig how unexpectedly educational this vid was
This Lady is super smart
Yeah, “and here’s a pond, because FLW LOVED water”
'feels like kings landing'
And nice rack
@@charlech Would def take her to pound town.
I bet all of the previous owners died under mysterious circumstances in the house
Killed by replicants.
@Dont who is it ?
@Dont That's the Sowden House, not this one.
Masonic.
Killed by the Clintons....
I never have, in my life, the desire to be a billionaire. Until I saw this house.
I would live here in a second It is beautiful.
Mate we can be 500 millionaire. You can live with me with your family.
Strange, all that house on the outside, but yet I felt claustrophobic on the inside.
Cornelius White exactly what I felt!
And those bathrooms felt a lot like prison bathrooms. Especially those awful sunken baths.
Exactly. I was like, From the outside, it looks like it would the rooms shown, and 10 more bedrooms. The video shows it's a two bedroom and one of those is now a library? lol.
He liked squishing stuff together and making it “cozy” though I don’t see how
@@alexknight2738 reminds me of crime scene body outlines. Like that bath is the final resting place for you...
This house looks eerie af, plus, must be hell dusting that house.
If you can afford this place, you can afford to hire someone to dust it for you.
I love the house. It's a piece of art. But I've wondered the same thing about the dusting myself. Ha!
@Risky Business you are not funny, why can't you respect other countries things that they did one the past ? You are really disrespectful even though you think is funny
This is no joke. There are several documentaries saying that the other Mayan house on Franklin Street is where the Black Dahlia was murdered by a notorious surgeon who had connections to powerful people and everything from Hollywood to the art world and law enforcement... watch that documentary and you will be so creeped out ... for real
Not attractive at all
I am shocked this is up for sale as a home! Decades ago, I was a docent for the nearby Hollyhock House & we toured this legendary, magnificent structure pre-restoration. It was such a privilege and honor to walk inside one of Mr. Wright's famous homes. I really thought it would be protected as a historical building? Well, compared to what I remember seeing, the restoration was very well done and it was much needed.
Cool! I was a docent at Hollyhock back in the 90's. Loved every minute of it.
where is the room where they do human sacrifices
Rooftop
sacrifices were made outdoors
Frank Lloyd Wright - the best architect the US ever produced. The Ennis House has long been iconic, and to see it so lovingly restored and furnished is a delight. Thank you for sharing this!
s p bridges, hotels, the Guggenheim, even affordable housing were just some of his accomplishments.
@@countalucard4226 Yes, his work from the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo (now, sadly gone) to his Usonian houses - they're all amazing. While living in Arizona, I must have toured Taliesin West half a dozen times.
I'm just surprised it only costs $23M! Just the location and size would cost that much, even without being such an incredible, iconic home. (Not that I can afford it, LOL)
@@MarjaMariachi I know what you mean. Some of the homes and apartments I see on here have no character, other than the character of costing a fortune. But this is a work of art - and in an expensive city. I would expect it to go for a whole lot more.
s p have you ever visited the FLW home that extends over a river I believe it’s in Pennsylvania. I saw. A PBS bio about him many years ago, he was an interesting man, to say the least.
Must’ve took forever to collect all of that sandstone. Definitely built on creative...
Um...its molded concrete. In fact, one of the special features of his architecture in this house.
Julie Hare it’s a minecraft reference..
Lmao this comment is Gold
man its chizzled stonebricks
It’s pretty amazing to say my school was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright as well as numerous other buildings and homes in my city.
Lauren Drake u in Chicago?
icecrmpntjb no, just south of Milwaukee close to the Illinois border
What was the name and location of that school? I would like to look it up. I've never heard of it.
Looks like a home where rituals would go down well
🤣 Yes, ORGIES!!!! 😘
Sounds fun lol
Human sacrifice.
Fantastic .. Well you should be one to know eh ?
I would buy it in a heart beat if I had $23M. This is a priceless work of art. The significance of this house in architectural history is immesurable.
I’m glad you said this because everyone keeps on saying it’s not fit to be a home but I honestly love how this was inspired by Mesoamerican architecture, since it’s part of my culture.
As of a few days ago, an array of Eight FLW structures, including the Ennis house, were named a Unesco World Heritage site. You are right when you say the significance of this house is immersurable. Hard to believe it's from the 1920's
OzoneEditions But it isn’t homey
@@maxmusic5380 it would need a lot of work for it to be "homely" lol
@@kerrycastaneda5226 This is sickening concrete and not Mayan culture. Just because it is said to be inspired by your traditional culture, doesn't make it to a part of your culture. It's not even the usual Disney style of interpretation.It's more like a final tombstone on Mayan culture, locking it away for good, destroying it.
Connecting with nature through CONCRETE????? ROFLMAO
Looks like it was built in Minecraft 😂
*Mayancraft
tomb raider, mummy.
Kristian Nunez I was gonna say it 😂
ok
You read my mind
So happy to see this great restoration of the Ennis house - and it deserves this preservation. One of the FLW's greatest. Realtors take note: This is how you show a house--without hoopla and even a sales pitch. People who know FLW will know what this is and the value it contains.
Can you imagine how terrible the wifi must be with all those bricks?
wifi? Remember They are Mayans they communicate directly with Kukulkan.
When you can afford that house you just hire someone to carry a router and follow you throughout the house. Or maybe multiple routers but that's no fun
@@carlosmante HAHAHA 😂
@@Dongonzales123 You get it. "WIFI save, where are you?!" "It's Richard, Sir." "SILENCE!"
Perfect. WiFi is massively harmful to human biology, should be outlawed.
Frank was a genius , he had a very unique modern futuristic point of view .
Look at all of the houses he built ,
Basil Afghani maybe the other houses, but this just isn’t it. It’s completely square throughout. The bathtubs don’t even look usable. Everything is just hard looking, very masculine, and not homey looking at all.
@@justcece5709 whats wrong with it looking masculine?
Seems also like a great place to film a Stargate episode.
That was the only sci-fi/fantasy style show that I got hooked on. Yes, this even looks like a set from an episode, as I visualize it now. Cool thought
Kree jaffa 🤣
I think it's a beauty, but I can see it as Emperor Palpatine cozy weekend get-away.
Absolutely stunning, so ahead of its time.
That kitchen could use an overhaul tho, imo.
A restoration is not a renovation. It's the aesthetic and history you pay for.

Kitchens were not considered a plus back then. If you're looking for a house, one of the first things you want to see is the kitchen. Back then, whoever could afford such a house didn´t care. It only had to be minimally functional for the staff. You can see his kitchens becoming more beautiful as the years went along.
That kitchen is stunningly minimalist and functional. That's all I'd care about as far as the kitchen
That style kitchen was an integral part of the design offered by Mr. Wright! Changing it would change the design which something you would not want to do with that house!
I've been to a few of FLW houses , while he was an amazing architect none of this houses feel like you're in a house, they are more like offices.Another problem with his houses is that you can't change anything, you are living in a piece of artwork, and there is no place to hang any type of paintings, you're stuck with the furniture because no other style of furniture would work with that interior design.
I've been in this one. It's surprising bright on the inside. Looking out through the original stain glass windows is awesome.
You have to think about the times when he lived. A lot of bussiness men were looking for homes like these. Big and extravagant while also being able to have an office inside.
You say all that like they're bad things. ;-)
I wouldn’t feel obligated to not changing things but rather to occasionally make the changes I feel Flw would’ve done himself or at least approved of but I do think he’d have approved of bleeding edge, innovative and risky changes that were conscious of natural materials, artisanship and the site itself
Most of the houses FLLW designed are still used as private homes. Those that are owned by city governments or foundations kind of feel like offices because there's no personal stuff in them, like toothbrushes, cans of soup, kid's sneakers or cat boxes.
An awesome historic gem. Thankfully it’s been preserved, given the tear down culture in LA.
7:31 The six people in the mirror tho
It takes a village...
Good eye!
Ghosts from the past :D
ahahahah
I only see 5
I've never wanted or understood the need to buy a house for more than 5-10mil. At some point all u get is just a "better" location, and a larger house, and the design and materials used are mostly the same.
Here you get something completely unique and weird, and its refreshing to see. And you understand what goes into the 23m pricetag, because everything is so bespoke and unique.
"You can usually see the ocean from here but today there's a June gloom". Every time I see one of these LA homes there's a June gloom.
You actually can. You can sometimes see long Beach too on a good day
The Magi .. They particularly try to film mostly during June gloom times ;)
@@stanvanillo9831 Impossible! The current city/county/state government got rid of air pollution LONG AGO.
According to Wright's autobiography, his mother declared when she was expecting that her first child would grow up to build beautiful buildings. She decorated his nursery with engravings of English cathedrals torn from a periodical to encourage the infant's ambition.
Home Plans 3D really
yes
@T-800 Model 101 Infiltrator Unit. you can line the room with bank statements
@T-800 Model 101 Infiltrator Unit. wow
It’s almost like genetically he was related to his mother and had the same ideas.
i’m really happy it wasn’t modernized, all the original things give the house so much more character and history, love it. especially the sunken tubs
Suttle and invisible like the glass mirror shelve in Mr Ennisses room, love this house
I really like her job, she does great explanaition.
I helped restor the house. We weren't able to restore all of the blocks do to us being on a time line and on a budget. We went above and beyond to get this house where its at today. Do to the house being very poorest we had to waterproof the entire house and butler house with 2 types of waterproof materials.. thats why it now has a sheen from a far on a sunny day. Also this house has a basement under the main courtyard, and the billers room has a door behind the bar that lead in to another room. Speaking of other rooms next to the lemon tree under the main bedroom theres a little door that leads into another little room. The original matter windows had to get replaced Because we couldn't get them clean they had used a different type of glass that you could barely see out of and no matter what we used to clean them the would still end up hazy. There's also another room with a bathroom next to the kitchen that no one ever talks about i don't know why. Lol oh and there's also a Powder Room right before you go up the steps in to the living room and dining room area. And next to the billiard room there's a laundry room. Theres so much more to this house but I don't want to be here all day if you have any questions just ask.. I know this house like the back of my hand I worked on it 4 years and the memories on this project, I will never forget and nether will my former co workers as this house brought us together and created new friendships that till this day are still around. Every time it was someone's b- day we would throw them in the pool before going home lol NO ONE GOT AWAY EVERYONE GOT THROWN IN THE POOL even our manager Gabriel.
Interesting. I bet you could write a good book about the restoration Of the Ennis House
Thanks for all your additional info. How fortunate to be able to help restore this magnificent masterpiece. I would live there in a NY second.
What a bargain, this is pure art. Insane property.
Horrible
It doesn't feel liveable though
Beautiful but creepy feeling to stay here
Because of Twin Peaks.
Most of the comments are talking about how this isn’t homey... but i don’t think people realize how much this is a huge part of history when it comes to architecture and how it has defined it over the course of the century
The architectural teens are facinating... compression and release.... continual becoming....I just love the way he thought and coined words that still are used today... just wonderful ❤️♥️♥️
A home more fitting for a Mayan god than a family. Absolutely love this home.
I've been there and it feels even more amazing in person. What they don't have time to point out is that Wright designed EVERY detail, down to the hinges and toilet paper dispensers, all of which are better than anything I've ever seen.
Absolutely stunning building, I could in no way live there, but I can appreciate the design. It was lovely to hear an estate agent showing us around that seemed to understand some architectural history too.
It's awesome can understand why it is so iconic and also restored with real passion and commitment
You know how I connect with nature? A $25 hammock in the park, between two trees.
You know how I connect with nature? I lay on the ground in a park for free.
The place has a lot of great ideas in there, love the logia, ponds, pools and private balcony. Not a fan of the compression & release especially with concrete. Love the terrasse and window glass corners. The Art Deco touches are also excellent.
Wright was so ahead of his time but still manages to represent the era when the structure was made. He’s just one of the most brilliant Architect to this day and age.
This is the best showing of this property I've seen so far. Beautiful home.
Yes.
I've seen alot of luxury home videos before around here but this is one of the most unique and beautiful houses I've seen so far
Every single comment on this channel is “ yea but it doesn’t feel hOmEy”
I don't get where people aren't seeing the homely-ness, it seems super homely to me
It just too much CONCRETE. That and Wright was in mourning when he built this home. His wife had died. Just look for his Biography. Dude was obsessed with Mayan tombs. And then he built this house. #Creepy 😓😒😰
Americans love to live in tasteless unimaginative identical timber boxes with boring repulsive colors and identical tasteless unimaginative furniture for everyone.
Boring stuck in a box traditional value warriors
@@mmtcar accept when Americans build houses like this.... It's in America
This reminds me of a pyramid you have to escape
Temple Run?
Yesss!
This has always been my favorite house for so many reasons. If I had it ,I would purchase it from you because you are so perfect to show and sell it. Best wishes to the potential buyer...
this is perfection, the design and architecture is beyond this world. For 23 Mil, that's a hell of a deal too! i'm so in awe with this house! the design is timeless and so perfect, i can talk bout it for hours lol so beautiful 😍
What a stunning work of art. I can appreciate the beauty in the architecture, but also the way the landscape is incorporated into the design of the house. It's cozy, while also maintaining a very open structure. Truly inspiring. 🥰
I seen several documentaries about this house, but this was the first inside tour (probably because of the condition prior to restoration. Frank Lloyd Wrights' interiors always feel a bit more like museums than homes. That's because he took the aesthetic to the Nth degree; the interior matches the exterior; the furniture matches everything else. Which is great for award winning innovative design, not so great on the tushy. Thx for sharing!
"better than new" condition and yet there's chunks missing from the concrete blocks all over the place.
We a time line to restore it and budget
Aforgamon .. Good eyes man! I never noticed ..
My favourite house. A bit obsessed with it ever since I saw it in S Club 7 music video. Loving Frank Lloyd Wright's sensibility ever since.
This house should be purchased by the state and used as a museum
so true
They can't, they wasted like $5billion on building a high speed rail system that never got finished.
it hasn't even been a minute into the video and i already love the house !
Went there many years ago. I couldn't go into the house. This house is magnificent design. I mean the design is ahead of its time and still difficult to design like this . This is architecture marvel that should be preserved. and anyone want to be architecture designer must visit this place.
Stunning and extraordinary. Thanks AD.
This is incredibly cool, stunning and a true masterpiece, but I could never, ever live there. I would feel like I was living in "Night at the Museum".
Man.... Frank Lloyd Wright is one of my favorite architects; how I would love to own this house. Not to necessarily live in it, but to have at as a vacation home. It must be incredible to be able to live in a house designed by him, but also in a style I never even knew existed..... maybe one day...
Air B&B it for $4500/night.
This is the best video I've seen on this house. It gives you a great sense of the house and property.
This girl has won my heart to. Jade and Rayni are incredible.
I feel like if Lucifer were to buy a house in the Netflix show this would be it
His style is more modern tho, isnt it?
What is your deepest darkest desires?
WHY WOULD YOU WATCH THAT TRASH
Mr. Chapo Martinez don’t diss lucifer is one of the better shows on Netflix
As an architect, this is my dream house!
Wow. I toured this house before it's renovation. It looks amazing.
*THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL AND CREATIVE HOUSES I'VE SEEN*
TWENTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS..
*_for three (3) bedrooms..._*
what's not clicking, los angeles...
A house made by one of the most important architects of the XX cent. that's why the price is so high (Plus where's located, the house itself...)
MP MP you’re exactly right. FLW is an icon and ppl will pay SO MUCH to have something with his name attached. It’s crazy! But I understand why! He was amazingly talented and creative.
I know right. You should watch Zedd's house. 16Mil and so dmn huge big
cameron alexander it’s designed by Frank Lloyd Wright! Pretty much the only reason it’s that much money
@@concreteunicorn1607 Also, he added 17. million to restore the house. I would have modernize the kitchen. But, it's a museum now.
this looks like a place an HP lovecraft character would lose his mind in as he slowly discovers the dark secrets of his ancestry
Shadow over Innsmouth intensifies
23 mil is a steal considering the significance and Frank Lloyd Wrights original design concepts are so rare.
Living in LA and being a big Frank Lloyd Wright fan, I've been to the Ennis House many times, but I've never seen the inside, despite asking all the architects I know to help me get inside, because in the past they used to let architects in there. Well, I got to see the Hollyhock House and Taliesin West, and now at least I've gotten a tor of the Ennis at least virtually, so thank you!
Wrong choice of footwear though 😜
It seems art deco to me
she was struggling on those pathways. :)
@B S it impacts me a lot less than my comment impacted you it would seem. has no one in your life ever made a casual observation? perhaps you should leave the house more, strike up a conversation, talk about the weather or something. your username is perfect.
@B S i will not shhh. i will blah blah blah.
@B S blah blah blah
It looked like a box fort on the thumbnail.
looks like a retirement home
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING ARCHITECTURE WOWWW GENIUS FRANK ! I’ve lived in LA all my life and never seen the inside of the Ennis house ! Been to A lot of Hollywood parties right by it 😉
When I lived in LA, I only visited places like this when out-of-towners came to visit. Never even been inside City Hall & worked within 8 blocks of it.
This agent / presenter is amazing. Great tour.
Just wanna let the host know that she's beautiful and don't need to adjust her clothes a lot. You go girl!
Wright was a genius designer and architect, but his buildings had some serious issues like Fallingwater and Ennis House and always were more difficult and expensive to build in reality.
That house is for someone who has 23 Mill as play-money, and skipping a new private jet or McLaren F1 buy for this.
There is a very informative RUclips video about Falling Water and the architectural problems. FW is beautiful but I agree...someone with tons of play money should own his homes because they always seem to need shoring up or something.
@@WakandaBabe That's what you get when your architect pushes the envelope. I'd rather have one of Frank's houses than most of that bulky junk they're putting up in Beverly Hills & Bel Air these days.
I'd take the house!
Superb! Thank you Ron Burkle.
Thank You for uploading!
"Frank Lloyd Wright loved water" 😂😂 same here
I've decided Frank Lloyd Wright was high af all the time
yes otherwise he would not be able to do such masterpieces ...
Apart from the beautiful house, Im impressed by the host / presenter.. In fact after having watched several shows / presentations showcasing properties beautiful lady has truly impressed. Other property owners should look into hiring her to showcase their properties.... Apart from being well informed , she knows how to pass the core details..
Thanks to her for the beautiful presentation...
Really great video. Direct and to the point.
What a beautifully done video, doing justice both to Lloyd Wright and to the customary excellence of Architectural Digest. MAGNIFICENT.
This home is so awesome 👏🏻
The house and the agent are too much georgeous I can't handle
This is INCREDIBLE!
Frank Lloyd Wright was like a century ahead of his time.
There's a lot more green space then I ever thought there was. I've just added the video to my "Ennis House" collection.
You have an Ennis collection too? I have a folder with 325 pictures.
What are you using to download the vid? Free RUclips Downloader isn't working for me anymore.
*I love it. It's absolutely sensational!*
Excellent presentation, young lady!
"You have multiple varieties of roses"... but shows camellias and zero roses.
And when she passed the beautiful white rose bushes she referred to them as flowers. 😆
😂😂😂😂
Omg thank you for noticing! It's not just me 😂
Its Actually called the Camelia pond
the cranky foodie .. Well she's a Real Estate agent, not a horticulturalist or gardener .. :P
This house would be good for a music video
compilations by K or a community asylum
Ricky Martin used it for a video
Ricky Martin used it for a video
it’s also in Westworld Season 2 (Arnolds House)
Thats amazing, a house from the past but without looking at the kitchen/bathroom in could also be built in a distant future, amazing architecture!
Beatiful scenery surrounding this awesome home
Pedantically pointing out that ... you mentioned a rose garden twice while showing camellias. Thank you for share this iconic property.
This is probably the best video of the Ennis house to date. Comprehensive with detailed close-ups. Thanks for a phenomenal tour! (A little disconcerting that there are still cracked, chipped, disintegrating tiles. Will require constant ongoing maintenance. $$$.)
7:28 when you realize you shoudn't have done that 😂
That must have had so many takes as well😂😂😂
@@edvickery8674 Or maybe the editor picked the fail because she wasn't very nice to the crew 😂
GOD hahaha. She carried on smoothly nonetheless which is the main thing
@@edvickery8674 True 😂
@@edvickery8674 she did that so well that I didn't even got that she missed the shot :D
I am shook
Amazing
It's extremely beautiful and I've always loved Frank Lloyd Wright's work though I don't think I would ever want to live in it personally. It would be like living in the Palace of Versailles, I wouldn't feel comfortable slouching around in such a formal, opulent environment with old artifacts and luxurious furniture everywhere. I view it more as a work of art to observe and admire rather than a home for me to live in.
Minecraft graphics is superb these days
Hopefully one day I can design my own house inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright designs and not have to settle in some cookie cutter suburbia hell house. This house is so important to architectural history
I love his designs! I stayed in one of his apprentices homes and I can’t view other houses the same way!
Gorgeous Home, Historic Desire Place 1920’s
Love this house! Architectural dream.
