The Lowry Residence, 1973. Nestled on land acquired from the adjacent Van Pelt Estate, this mid-century modern home embodies the creativity and craftsmanship of an era when visionaries were shaping LA's architectural landscape. Renowned architect Dick E. Lowry, AIA, designed this stunning post-and-beam compound as his personal family residence on a breathtaking ridge in the coveted Franklin Hills of Los Feliz. Thoughtfully crafted with natural materials and sited with incredible views in all directions, the home embodies a timeless design that remains as striking as ever. Offering an immersive living experience with expansive outdoor spaces and true architectural integrity, this warm wood-clad residence has undergone a tasteful restoration by the current owners, staying loyal to Lowry's original modernist spirit. Designed with the care, artistry, and intention befitting a personal residence, it spans 2,449 sq. ft. across two levels, featuring three bedrooms and three bathrooms, and is rich with original elements full of character and warmth. Expansive beams, original woodwork, and walls of windows create a seamless flow to the outdoors, framing enchanting vistas of the Silver Lake hills. This home provides an unparalleled and transformative respite from city life, inspiring creativity and recharging the spirit. The upper-level living area offers light-filled openness, while the lower-level bedrooms serve as private havens. The primary bedroom is complete with a cozy fireplace, and the beautifully appointed primary bathroom adds a touch of luxury. A separate 421 sq. ft. studio, reflecting the home's original details and thoughtful design, features a grand view, kitchenette, and half bathroom ideal as guest quarters or a creative space. Lush gardens, serene pathways, and scenic seating areas make up the incredible 16,000+ sq. ft. lot, offering ample room to entertain and gather with friends and family. A large off-street driveway and garage parking for multiple cars, as well as ample storage throughout (including a workshop below the house), are just a few of the hard-to-find features for a home in the hills. Located in one of the east side's most desirable neighborhoods, in the heart of Los Feliz and Silver Lake's vibrant culture, the one-of-a-kind Lowry Residence awaits its next chapter.
