The Roth House - Hollywood Hills/Studio City in Los Angeles

Mid-Century Modern Architectural Masterpiece with Spectacular Views.

This extraordinary home in the Hollywood Hills has been described as a
“work of art you can live in.” Situated on a secluded cul-de-sac
overlooking Studio City with panoramic views of the San Fernando
Valley and the San Gabriel Mountains, this three bedroom, three bath
architectural delight has the feel of living in a luxurious tree house.

The “Roth Residence” was built in 1946 by famed architect Rudolph
Schindler, who was honored with the only solo exhibition of an
architect’s work at the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art. It is
an icon of Schindler’s groundbreaking concept of space itself as the
primary element of architecture. A sensitive restoration added modern
systems and amenities while retaining its original architectural
integrity.

Only a handful of R. M. Schindler houses remain with their original
architectural beauty preserved. Celebrated Australian architect Glenn
Murcutt, winner of his profession’s highest honor, the Pritzker Prize,
declared the Roth Residence the best Schindler house he has ever seen.
The house has been featured in numerous books, including a four-page
chapter in Modernism Reborn: Mid-Century American Houses by Michael Webb.

Adding to the home’s beauty are period furnishings and art, such as
Noguchi tables, a Heywood-Wakefield dining set, chairs by Prouve,
Eames, Mies van der Rohe and Bertoia, an Edward Wormley sofa by
Dunbar, Tufenkian Tibetan rugs, an antique globe collection, and a
signed print by Alexander Calder.

The large wood-burning stone fireplace is complimented with
mid-century fireplace tools. There is a collection of books on R. M.
Schindler and his houses. And the park-like grounds and patio offer
privacy with spectacular vistas. Nearby are two hiking trails through
the Hollywood Hills.

Located near the intersection of Laurel Canyon and Ventura Blvd., this
unique property is only minutes from Universal Studios, Warner
Brothers Studios, Beverly Hills, Hollywood and Griffith Park.

Two patios with a table, chairs and two chaise lounges capture the
city and mountain views.

The master bedroom has a queen-size bed with a W Hotel Mattress, down
comforter, and luxury Frette sheets and duvet. There is a tree-level
outdoor sitting deck off the master bedroom.

The downstairs bedroom has a full-size bed with W Hotel Mattress, down
comforter and 400 tread-count sheets, and a Saarinen bureau.
