Another characteristically cuboidal, Mayan-inspired Los Angeles home by Lloyd Wright, son of Prairie School prelate Frank Lloyd Wright, has been put up for sale, this one a 2,518-square-foot Hollywood abode with historic-cultural monument status. What immediately sets the 1923 Henry O. Bollman Residence apart from the last few Lloyd Wright offerings is some gold-colored interior stonework which only increases the temple-like vibe that the listing describes as "dramatic" and "intimate." Not all the Curbed LA commenters are big fans of the flashiness ("Gold is never a wise color choice for teeth or Lloyd Wright houses," declares one), but one reader claims that it was a recreation of the original hue. Whether a restoration or a glamming up, it was part of a suite of renovations undertaken by interior designer Mimi London, who acquired the place back in 1990 for somewhere around $230K. With London's renovations, which the listing claims took at from a state of "disrepair" and made it "better serving modern lifestyles with a new kitchen, baths, and an expansion of living space into what was the attached garage," the four-bedroom is currently asking $1.9M.

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

-
Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10. The Hitwise rankings don't tally mobile app users, an increasingly popular option among consumers conducting listing searches. But they still provide a window into who's winning the battle for eyeballs -- an important consideration for brokers and agents in deciding where to spend their marketing dollars.
