We always love discovering another significant piece of architecture by one of the greats. The Logar House circa 1951 by Richard Neutra sits on a lot of over 30,000 square feet with views to spare. It is featured in the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) publication “The Architecture of Richard Neutra: From International Style to California Modern.”
Designed by legendary architect Richard Neutra and widely known as “The Logar House.” This architecturally significant residence is archived in the Getty Research Institute, recognized as eligible for Los Angeles Historic Places designation. Featured in the Museum of Modern Art publication The Architecture of Richard Neutra: From International Style to California Modern. Completed between 1950 and 1951 for James and Olive Logar. The home is believed to be among the last remaining Neutra-designed residences in the northern San Fernando Valley.
Set on a sprawling 30,800-square-foot lot, the residence offers 2,032 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Inspired by Neutra’s iconic 1949 Time magazine cover, the Logars commissioned a home that embodied the ideals of California modernism. Olive Logar famously described it as “a beautiful little ship at anchor.”
The L-shaped design, clad in white cement plaster and redwood, centers around an open-plan living, dining, and study wing, while private terraces extend from each bedroom and the main living spaces, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. A projecting carport and layered horizontal planes emphasize the home’s sculptural geometry and signature Neutra aesthetic.
Neutra described the residence as possessing a “visually blended” atmospheric continuity, a feeling experienced from the moment of entry through the interiors and out to the expansive grounds. The home’s architectural importance has attracted filmmakers, scholars, and preservationists alike, and its enduring legacy was famously documented in black-and-white photography by renowned architectural photographer Julius Shulman.
The Logar House stands as a rare opportunity to own a celebrated work of California modernism, an enduring expression of innovation, elegance, and architectural history.
