Richard Neutra's Bonnet House. This highly published and landmarked property has been praised by architectural critics for decades. Neutra designed this two-bedroom, two-bath residence as a series of redwood-clad cubes angled into the hillside, orienting the home to maximize stunning city and canyon views - a plan that earned this early modernist home much deserved recognition in Arts & Architecture magazine, best known for its sponsorship of the Case Study House program. The light-filled living room with wood paneling and original fireplace features the architect's signature International-style ribbon windows and sliding glass doors that seamlessly connects with a spacious flagstone deck for al fresco enjoyment of the scenic views. The primary bedroom boasts an additional open hearth fireplace with rare curved details and walls of glass that echo Neutra's Kaufman House of the same era. The architectural integrity of the home is thoughtfully integrated with a top-of-the-line gourmet kitchen, new electrical and plumbing, central air conditioning, Wi-Fi, digital TV, and wired sound. The property also includes a separate studio with kitchenette and period correct full bathroom. The sprawling grounds are a verdant mix of mature foliage, new landscaping, and multiple outdoor spaces. Richard Neutra was a master of integrating his architectural structures into their unique surroundings. The Bonnet House is no exception. Its design pays tribute to the Hollywood Hillside it sits upon and is perfectly sited for stunning sunsets, canyon and city views - while incorporating outdoor living into every room.
