The Ennis House, which is located in the foothills of the L.A. neighborhood of Los Feliz, was built by Wright's son in 1924 for Charles and Mabel Ennis and is known as a unique masterpiece ... made almost entirely of granite blocks.
The property's been a hot spot for Hollywood filmmakers over the years, appearing in countless shows and movies ... including 1982's "Blade Runner."
As for the specifics of the Ennis House ... it's over 6,000 square feet including the detached guest quarters, 3 beds, 3.5 baths and the main house features a gorgeous marble floor linking the various rooms.
There are hardwood floors and leaded glass windows throughout ... along with a fireplace, a vintage kitchen, a media room with a wet bar, a swimming pool, a koi pond and one hell of a view of the city. The sale easily broke the previous record for an FLW house set by the Storer House in Hollywood Hills ... it went for $6.8 mil in 2013.

Pretty cold in my humble opinion.
Oh, heck. I guess my bid of $25,000 plus a book of Blockbuster coupons was rejected.
…” made almost entirely of granite blocks.”
Got Radon?
Yes
I prefer FLW’s Prarrie design
It reminds me of Lenin’s tomb.
When we went to Studio City for my dauter’s wedding two years ago, we made sure we visited Ennis house. It’s even cooler than I imagined, but the road you have to take to get there is a nightmare.
Beautiful, like a castle, with wonderful views.
Great, if you can afford it. But it looks like it’s worth the price.
I wonder who bought it.
Beautiful location and view, but there are way too many lines going in different directions.
It hurts the eyes.
Looks Babylonian.
Too many notes.
Ping
It’s “The House on Haunted Hill”, the Vincent Price movie.
What would it be valued at if designed by Fred from down the street?
What would it llok like?
The buyer’s going to tear it down and build a condominium for homeless illegal immigrants. . .
