In Los Angeles’ Brentwood, a Neutraesque bungalow asks for $3.5m

The U-shaped glass house is pays homage to his modernist designs

A Richard Neutra-inspired bungalow in Los Angeles’ well-heeled Brentwood enclave of Kenter Canyon has hit the market for $3.499m—and it’s full of authentic midcentury details.

The four-bedroom post-and-beam home was built in 1958 and spans 241 sqm, with wide swathes of glazing, maple built-ins and concrete floors typical of the period.

Beyond decorative wood and glass doors, and a pair of vibrant red doors at the front entrance, the breezy ground floor curves around the courtyard in a U-shaped plan, maintaining sight lines through the LA property thanks to the expanses of glass. A modern metallic fireplace with built-in seating anchors one end of the ground level, with a contemporary kitchen and banquette at the other. White walls are punctuated with bursts of sunset colours.

The four bedrooms and three bathrooms have been gradually updated while maintaining the character of the original scheme. Bathrooms have glass-brick walls to the outdoors, and sliding glass doors throughout offer access to the courtyard fountain, pond, and a copse of tall bamboo, which provides privacy and shade for those scorching summer days.

Nikki Hochstein of Compass is listing the modernist Los Angeles property. Located north of Sunset, the Getty Center and the historic architecture of the Brentwood Hills are just a short drive away.

The house has an open-plan U-shaped design, with sight lines across the property thanks to swathes of floor-to-ceiling glass
