every room tells a story of grandeur and sophistication blended with bold color and personality

Hancock Park The Baker House by Elmer Grey

1201 SAINT ANDREWS PLACE, LOS ANGELES | $2,995,000 | 5 BD | 5 BA

Known as Country Club Park, a nod to the golf course previously sited there around the turn of the 20th century, this area was one of the first neighborhoods to feature prominent homes for the wealthy. After the golf course moved to Holmby Hills, those with means were building some of L.A.s most distinguished architectural homes in this neighborhood. The Baker House by Elmer Grey proudly exemplifies this as St Andrews Place is an exceptionally wide street and the home is sited on a 16,000 square foot corner lot.

Los Angeles The Galka Scheyer House by Richard Neutra

1880 BLUE HEIGHTS DRIVE, LOS ANGELES | $3,600,000 | 2 BD | 3 BA

Today we’re showcasing The Galka Scheyer House by Richard Neutra with a 1936 second-story addition by Gregory Ain (who’d actually worked under Neutra on the original structure a few years before). Scheyer was a German American painter and art dealer. She was probably most notable for representing the Bauhausian artists she coined “ the blue four”: Jawlensky, Feininger, Kandinsky and Klee.

Silverlake Richard Neutra Ohara House

2210 NEUTRA PLACE, LOS ANGELES | $3,100,000 | 3 BD | 2 BA

One of several Neutra designed homes to hit the market recently, The Ohara Residence in Silver Lake offers picture perfect architectural serenity. Informally known as the Neutra Colony, several Neutra homes are congregated on the Eastern Side of the Silver Lake Reservoir. We can only imagine coexisting with the lucky few residents sharing stories of each home’s history and the stewardship responsibilities they’ve taken on.

SANTA MONICA THE SCHWARTZ HOUSE PIERRE KOENIG

Santa Monica The Schwartz House Pierre Koenig

444 SYCAMORE ROAD, SANTA MONICA | $4,550,000 | 4 BD | 4 BA

It’s astounding that the architect responsible for Case Study Houses #21 and #22 in the 50’s and 60’s was still building homes in the 90’s. As as a graduate of the USC School of Architecture, Koenig was exposed to and worked with many of the most notable modernist architects of his day. The Schwartz house in Santa Monica’s Rustic Canyon would be the last of his designs built during his lifetime.

PASADENA THE MCMILLAN HOUSE CONRAD BUFF AND DONALD HENSMAN, FAIA

Pasadena The McMillan House Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman, FAIA

1130 LINDA VISTA AVE, PASADENA | $1,999,999 | 2 BD | 3 BA

The magic words in modernist real estate: Original owner and first time on the market. The McMillan House by Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman is classic late period for them. And, remains in mostly original condition. Our first impression upon our approach is some really cool 80’s looking art work on the stucco outside the front door. The signature open floor plan is evident, yet the rooms feel properly delineated.

LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE LLOYD WRIGHT EMANUEL GAINSBURG RESIDENCE

La Cañada Flintridge Lloyd Wright Emanuel Gainsburg Residence

1210 JOURNEYS END DR, LA CAÑADA FLINTRIDGE | $2,975,000 | 4 BD | 4 BA

Another great Lloyd Wright home just hit the market in La Canada Flintridge. The Emanuel Gainsburg residence from 1946 does not disappoint. From a stunning roof line to ribbed concrete walls, this house has a generous amount of original details that make it so special. Unique room angles create geometric patterns making this a one-of-a-kind home. There has been some extensive renovation to the property. We may suggest the new owner rethink the flooring. But, overall, this is an exceptional masterpiece from one of the greatest modernist architects contributing to the Southern California landscape.

A spacious swimming pool and a separate, tucked-away spa and outdoor shower are set amid complete privacy in a lush setting.

Beachwood Canyon Robert Lee, AIA Mid Century Masterpiece

3064 N BEACHWOOD DRIVE, LOS ANGELES | $2,465,000 | 3 BD | 2 Ba

We’re suckers for the pool in the front. We sold this mid-century house in Beachwood many moons ago. It had a red Ikea kitchen (Yeah, we know). Looks like Reath Design did a great job keeping it warm and modern.

Hollywood Hills W.E. Tucker House, R.M. Schindler, Architect

8010 FAREHOLM DR, LOS ANGELES | 3 BD | 2 BA | $3,200,000

How many times have we driven by this Schindler house in the Hollywood Hills only to wonder how it looked inside? With only two owners, the W.E. Tucker House has been maintained and appropriately updated with respect to the original architecture. And, now it’s ready for the next steward to take over.

Hollywood Hills Lloyd Wright Henry O. Bollman Residence

1530 N OGDEN DR, LOS ANGELES | $3,198,000 | 4BD | 2 BA

Lloyd Wright is responsible for some of the most distinctive architectural homes in Los Angeles. From the Sowden House in Los Feliz to the Derby House in Glendale, these homes are true standouts in their respective neighborhoods. The Bollman Residence off the Sunset Strip at the base of the Hollywood Hills is no exception. With a blend of architectural styles, this home is a truly unique masterpiece.
