About This Home

As of October 2024

A vintage post and beam, personal residence of Dick E. Lowry, AIA, offered for the very first time. Completed in 1973 it enjoys a prime Franklin Hills location with sweeping views. The dramatic entry and stairway serve as focal point "set pieces." Glass surrounds the kitchen, dining and living rooms which open to a wide rear deck that's ideal for entertaining, you feel as if you are floating above the hillsides. There are 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, a den/media room and entire walls dedicated to built-in closets. Tasteful updates have been made over the years but much is original including colors, textures and surfaces selected by Lowry himself. There is a 2-car garage and detached studio complete with a powder room. An added bonus is a basement workshop with potters kiln. Mature landscaping includes large trees and drought-tolerant elements. The location on a ridge between Los Feliz and Silver Lake provides easy access to the best markets, shopping and dining of the Eastside.
