Exceptional Architectural Compound Near Los Angeles
Located 15 miles north of LA in the La Crescenta foothills, the 6 acre property was originally planned as a hillside subdivision by Austrian-American architect Richard Neutra, although only one home was built.
The Serulnic Residence was built by Richard Neutra FAIA for his secretary, Dorothy Serulnic in 1953, and offers 1350 sq ft of space with 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom.
The mid century residence has walls of glass and boasts Neutra designed built-ins, like a sofa system with record player and concealed speakers.
More than five decades later, noted Los Angeles architect Michael Maltzan designed The Pittman Dowell Residence, a contemporary seven-sided polygonal home designed around an interior courtyard space.
There are only 2 doors in the 3500 sq ft residence which seems to unfold before you, layering space and limiting the view across the living and dining areas, which include a kitchen, library, and ensuite bedroom.
In addition to the two pedicreed properties, the compound comes with a unique outdoor cabin designed and built by artist Peter Stakey.
The luxury compound comes with a 50-foot Johnston Vidal lap pool and an outdoor movie pavilion with wind screen and catering kitchen.
