"When you have a house that is a classic Wallace Neff design or an authentic Paul Williams, that is the real thing. Those designs transcend anything. Los Angeles has homes by many enduring architects, such as modernists John Lautner, Richard Neutra and Rudolph Schindler. Plus, you find every architectural style in the world here."
"For a house to become a star in its own right it needs a certain timelessness or agelessness, said Jeff Hyland of Hilton & Hyland, an affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, and author of "The Legendary Estates of Beverly Hills.""
"When Bret Parsons described the interiors of Nicolas Cage's onetime Tudor home in Bel Air as "frat-house bordello" in a 2010 Hot Property column, the Los Angeles-based author and real estate agent had no idea that the term - and the home - would become a pop culture phenomenon."
