A striking lakeside masterpiece, the House on Six Legs represents a five-year project completed in 2010 by Escher GuneWardena, internationally esteemed architects and preservationists known for their work restoring the famed homes of John Lautner, Paul Williams, Rudolph Schindler, and Charles and Ray Eames. The commanding cantilevered home features 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms spanning 2,911 sq. ft. with effortless indoor-outdoor flow to the curated backyard space. Just moments from the Silver Lake Reservoir, this Lautner-inspired residence stands among Silver Lake's celebrated modernist homes. Located at the end of a cul-de-sac, the remarkable home welcomes you with its angular concrete piers and jutting front facade, intentionally built to maximize views and privacy. The cantilevered home extends over the carport, offering a dramatic welcome. Drought-tolerant plantings abut the concrete stairs that ascend to the home's enclosed, front glass atrium. Bordered with floor to ceiling windows and windowed doors, the main living space allows abundant natural light and unobstructed city and hillside views. Dark wood floors contrast with crisp white finishes, creating a bold yet inviting palette. The kitchen serves as both a functional workspace and a gathering hub, with a large-scale island, streamlined cabinetry with hidden storage, and high-end appliances, including Sub-Zero, Wolf, and Bosch. This culinary space seamlessly transitions into dining and lounge areas, allowing a cozy and serene atmosphere. The private quarters continue the theme of light and flexibility. The primary suite showcases a moveable wall that reveals nightly sunsets, a walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath with luxury fixtures by Phillipe Starck, AXOR, and Ronbow. Two secondary bedrooms share a skylit bath designed to maximize brightness, while the fourth room adapts seamlessly as an office or guest retreat, complete with a custom foldaway bed and an integrated workstation. Every room is thoughtfully appointed, with custom window treatments and sleek finishes throughout. The well-kept grounds extend the living experience outdoors, with native plantings, citrus trees, and multiple terraces for entertaining. An elevated deck, built-in barbecue, firepit area, and outdoor dining area create a perfect setting for gatherings large or small, while additional seating areas invite quiet moments under the California sun. Practical features, such as a tankless water heater, automatic irrigation, and a generous four-car parking area with extra storage, add convenience to the commanding architectural form. Located minutes from Silver Lake Reservoir and its premier commercial offerings like LaMill Coffee and Botanica Restaurant, the House on Six Legs offers a unique opportunity for its next owner to be the keeper of this iconic house in the heart of LA's esteemed architectural community.
