The first home Frank Lloyd Wright apprentice Mark Mills built in California's scenic coastal community of Carmel-by-the-Sea, completed in 1951, is known today as the Banyan House. A modernist take on a classic A-frame-style home, the modestly proportioned residence packs a stylish punch with a rustic, desert masonry foundation, ridgeline skylights atop wood-clad cathedral ceilings and triangular expanses of glass. A small, equally charming guest house with stained-glass accents and a massive skylight adds to the $2.7 million property's appeal. And in Los Angeles's Pacific Palisades community, a sophisticated, low-slung home designed in 1957 by architect Josef Van der Kar for economist and military expert Henry S. Rowen and his wife Beverly has crept onto the market with a $7.5 million asking price. Full-height walls of glass slide open to manicured lawns and a swimming pool set against a wooded landscape.
