Now, this architecture icon, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971, has surfaced the market for an asking price of $23mm. It was commissioned by Charles and Mabel Ennis, who owned men's clothing store, and since completed, has been favored among Hollywood directors as a backdrop of numerous films, most memorable of which was David Lynch's 2001 thriller Mulholland Drive.
Charles Ennis only lived in the ambitions house he built for five years until his death in 1928, and it was eventually sold in 1936. Its current owner Ronald Burkle, who purchased the house in 2011, after it was included in the List of America's Most Endangered Places by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and has spent nearly $17mm on its restoration.
