The Ross House – a Silver Lake architectural home by Eric Lloyd Wright located in the heart of this coveted lake-side neighborhood. Eric Lloyd Wright, the grandson of the legendary Frank Lloyd Wright, designed this extraordinary residence. The original structure was built in 1924 and renovated by Wright in 1957. The house beautifully exemplifies the seamless harmony between innovative architecture and the surrounding natural environment.

The home features a classic integration of organic design principles, effortlessly merging indoor and outdoor spaces with an extensive use of natural materials. These expansive windows invite natural light and open floor plans that create an inviting and spacious atmosphere. Each element of the house reflects a deep reverence for the environment, encapsulating the enduring legacy of the Wright family’s architectural excellence and commitment to sustainable design.

The Ross House is surrounded by the iconic homes of Richard Neutra, Rudolph Schindler and John Lautner, making this neighborhood a veritable treasure trove of architectural innovation. Wright has created a home with stacking planes and cantilevered balconies that celebrate the style and design of the era.

The neighboring residences add to Southern California’s architectural pedigree. Richard Neutra’s designs are celebrated for their emphasis on simplicity, functionality and the seamless integration of indoor and outdoor environments. Rudolph Schindler’s works are known for their bold use of space and pioneering techniques in modern architecture. At the same time, John Lautner’s creations are characterized by their futuristic designs and unique use of materials. Together, these architects have crafted a neighborhood that stands as a testament to mid-century modernism and the enduring legacy of innovative residential design.

The residence boasts three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms and spans 1,862 square feet. The property underwent a meticulous renovation between 2018-2022. The thoughtful renovation preserved the home’s architectural integrity while introducing contemporary comforts. Original design elements were carefully maintained, such as the extensive use of natural materials and open floor plans. Thoughtful modern updates were integrated to enhance functionality and comfort without compromising the historical character. The result is a home that beautifully balances bold Bauhausian style design with modern conveniences, harmonizing to create a tranquil and stylish retreat.

Large picture windows and floor-to-ceiling sliding doors capture views of the lake, connecting the interior to the outdoor space. These expansive windows offer beautiful lake vistas and fill the interiors with natural light. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open onto a spacious patio for alfresco dining.

The primary suite, located on the entire lower level, includes a spacious walk-in closet, a home gym and opens out onto a private patio and lawn. This luxurious space is designed for both comfort and functionality, providing a tranquil retreat within the home. A large walk-in closet and home gym allow residents to easily maintain their organization and fitness routines.

The incredible attention to detail is evident in every design aspect, from the bold geometric skylights to the soothing cove lighting. These design elements are a nod to the philosophy of Eric Lloyd Wright and his grandfather, which prioritizes ecological sustainability, social responsibility and aesthetic appeal. Each carefully considered design choice reflects a deep regard for the environment and a dedication to sustainable living, which are fundamental principles of the Wright family’s architectural legacy. A residence showcasing form, function and incredible architectural history like this rarely comes to market.
