Thousand Oaks Richard Neutra the McSorley House
1248 LA PERESA DR, THOUSAND OAKS | $2,750,000 | 3 BD | 2 BA
A masterwork of mid-century modernism, this residence by renowned architect Richard Neutra remains a remarkably intact example of his commitment to form, light, and environment. Neutra—one of the most influential figures of the International Style—was known for his ability to dissolve the barriers between architecture and landscape, and this home is a pristine expression of that philosophy.?
?Located a few miles up the Hollywood / 101 Freeway in Thousand Oaks, the home is privately situated on a gated half-acre at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac. The 3-bedroom, 2-bath design is defined by floor-to-ceiling glass and sliding panels that create seamless movement between interior and exterior. Natural materials—birch wood and terrazzo—add warmth and tactile simplicity, while a wood-burning fireplace introduces a quiet elegance to the family room.?
?A serene reflective pool, drawn from Neutra’s original plans, anchors the outdoor space, while a spacious pool added by the McSorley family completes this tranquil retreat. A rare offering that captures the essence of California modernism—timeless, harmonious, and deeply connected to its surroundings.
