A.F. Leicht's designs are instantly recognizable, with towers and slit-windows, wild neo-Gothic windows, and rounded and octagonal rooms. His houses have become sought after by the art and architecture cognoscenti. The Laurel View Residence (1926) features huge towering flying buttresses overlooking the neighboring architectural works, Frank Lloyd Wright's Storer Residence (1923), and Charles Kyson's De Witt House (1925), to show the other architects who was the top dog when it came to design. Spectacular home by one of the great innovative architects of the 1920's. Over 4300 s.f. of dramatic architecture with incredible use of vaulted ceilings and grand rooms to impress. Huge living room with city views, where Marlon Brando was photographed with his first Oscar in 1955, informal large living, library, dining room to seat up to 20 people, Bulthaup kitchen, charming breakfast room, master suite with sunroom and drop-dead city views, and three other bedrooms in the main house.
