A Legorreta in Brentwood Asks $30 Million, and Nobody Has Ever Bought It Before

The late attorney and philanthropist Arthur Greenberg had Ricardo Legorreta design him a house in Brentwood back in the 1990s, and he called it the House of Two Towers. It has never changed hands. Now it can, for $30 million, which is the sort of figure that makes a Palm Beach reader nod and a Naples reader reach for a calculator. What you are paying for is the name on the drawings as much as the land under them. Commissioning Legorreta was not the quick route to a house; it was a decision to live inside an architect's idea for the rest of your life, and Greenberg did exactly that. A first sale of a house like this is a rare thing in any zip code, Los Angeles included. Someone is about to become its second owner ever.
