Harry Gesner's 1960 Triangle House Comes With a Little Guesthouse Replica of Itself

Badass architect Harry Gesner is known for his dramatic and pointy structures, and the Triangle House in the Valley fits right in. The compound is made up of a 4,600-square-foot main house, a guesthouse that's a tiny replica of the big one, a pool, and outdoor entertaining areas all share the property's secluded 1.3-acre lot, which is surrounded by trees and hills in suburban Tarzana. There's also a "futuristic carport," a sunken living room, with a fireplace, a huge wine cellar, and the massive gate at the opposite end of the house's long driveway. Last sold in 2011 for just $935,000, it's now asking $1.997 million.
