Earlier quoted context omitted.

What a dreary sad anachronistic description.

I mean looking at the structures it's kind of warranted. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Textile_block_house

His houses lend themselves to being recreated in Minecraft.

Personally I have always liked his style and Falling Water was my favourite house when I was young.

Love this compound and all the hiking paths up around in the surrounding hills. Truly an peaceful property to immerse yourself in work and entertaining! Property taxes are gonna spike for the new buyer though due to prop 13 so make sure to factor that into your offer vs the $15k a year in the listing... Hopefully whoever buys this gem doesn't tear it down to build some modern boxy McMansion.

Looking at the full set of photos in the Zillow link that esalman posted, sorry, but that kitchen has gotta go.

Unless you’re also a chain smoker everything inside that house probably needs to go

I like the contrast between the kitchen and the home theatre, I guess he was not much of a chef haha

Definitely not much of a chef!

> When I get up, I have a cappuccino - that's breakfast. I don't have any food till lunch. I get into phases where I'll have the same thing every day. Lately I've been having feta cheese, olive oil and vinegar, tomatoes, and some tuna fish mixed together. Before that I was having tuna fish on lettuce and cottage cheese, but I got tired of that in about three months. I once had the same thing for lunch every day for seven years - a Bob's Big Boy chocolate shake and coffee at 2:30 every afternoon.

I wonder if the price would be significantly different if it wasn't David Lynch's house.

Looking at other houses in the neighborhood, it's probably about 10-15% because it's the Lynch residence, and the rest of it is the extent of the land, the number of houses, and, of course, the place where it is. By way of contrast, this is listed for 2.5x the money on the other side of the canyon: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1851-N-Stanley-Ave-Los-An...

Beyond stunning, worth its asking price imo.

Nice to see a Festool miter saw in his shop, Lynch knew what he was doing.

There was an auction of a lot of his memorabilia a few months ago, it included a lot of Festool stuff. He was an avid woodworker (the sale also included furniture he made). I like how the work table where you can see the miter saw is made of the most utilitarian plywood, it feels like he was working until his last days

If you're dropping $15m you aren't worried about property taxes regardless of how much they do or do not increase.
