It’s no wonder famed 20th-century photographer Julius Shulman was attracted to this Los Angeles home, known as the “Adler House,” as a subject for his craft. The hillside midcentury modern was designed by the one and only Richard Neutra and captivates with its architectural allure. The home sits in Brentwood’s Crestwood Hills neighborhood and was originally designed for a physicist, Dr. Adler, according to neutra.org. Nearly 70 years later, it is now on the market and ready for another new owner.
While it’s not a mansion, the circa-1956 home creates a big impact. Midcentury modern elements fill the spaces, which feel relaxed and minimalist. Beyond the bright red front door, 2,299 square feet of organic and glassy beauty awaits. The step-down living room and updated kitchen flow together perfectly. There are three-bedrooms and two-bathrooms and the primary suite overlooks canyon vistas, has a walk-in closet, and ensuite bath.
Natural light floods the open floor plan. And, as if the jaw-dropping architecture isn’t enough, it is accompanied with a show-stopping views of Downtown Los Angeles, the Getty Museum, the Pacific Ocean, and the mountains. Sliding glass doors lead to a private garden complete with a swimming pool, spa, lawn area, and sundeck, so the home seems poised for fun-filled parties no matter the decade.
While the West Coast is speckled with Neutra-designed homes (from San Diego t0 Hollywood Hills), it is truly an honor to own one. This gem is listed for $2,998,000 with F. Ron Smith and David Berg of Smith & Berg Partners, Compass.
