Silver Lake Richard Neutra home – The Ohara House, 1959. An architectural work of art, this 1,300-square-foot glass house is a masterpiece of modern design. Boasting stunning sectional variation in its airy and open design. Glass walls seamlessly blend the indoors with the outdoors, providing an unparalleled living experience. It’s no wonder that Neutra himself considered the Ohara House one of his favorite creations.

Under previous ownership by CJ Bonura, the house underwent an extensive restoration that breathed new life into the property. As part of this restoration, a new water feature was added to the landscape and the surrounding grounds were carefully planted to create a beautiful and serene, lush outdoor space.

The magnificent house harmoniously integrates architecture, nature, and modernism. Its design features multiple pavilions arranged in a cascading fashion down the hill, creating an organic architectural flow in harmony with the surrounding landscape.

Beyond the sleek and modern façade lies a cozy and inviting interior. Despite the compact layout, every inch of the house is purposefully designed. The house is equipped with multiple built-in cabinets and furniture that blend seamlessly with the overall aesthetic. The living room’s banquette is ingeniously transformed into a versatile workspace, where one can comfortably attend to tasks while enjoying the natural light streaming in from the large windows. The dining table doubles not only as a communal space for meals but also as a spot for tackling academic assignments and other home projects.

The classic mid-century house is adorned with intricate redwood framework detailing and Neutra’s beveled corner windows to provide unobstructed views of the surrounding landscape. Natural light floods the interior spaces, creating a warm and welcoming environment.

This Richard Neutra residence includes 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a functional carport at the rear of the property. The front balcony and side yard provide space for outdoor entertaining and relaxation, while the hot tub offers the perfect end-of-day escape. This is a rare opportunity to purchase a party of Los Angeles’ architectural history.
