A classic mid-century home by master architect Richard Neutra in Los Angeles\u2019s Brentwood neighborhood has come back to market for $5.295 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Known as the Sale House, after the original owners, the 1,600-square-foot home is the last house on Tigertail Road, backing up against the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. The home\u2019s glass walls and open lines are designed to invite in that uninterrupted view.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The three-bedroom home was built in 1960 on commission from Robert and Elsa Sale, an engineer and artist, who would go on to live there for over 50 years. Its low-profile design and flat facade, coupled with clerestory windows, wood built-ins and glass sliding doors, exemplify the mid-century aesthetic.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Neutra also designed an entry gallery with tall ceilings and soffit lighting for the Sales\u2019 art collection and the back patio was positioned so as not to block the ocean view, according to the co-listing by Compass agent Frank Langen and Dalton Gomez of Christies International Real Estate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In 2018, it was resold for the first time to restaurateur Daniel Humm<\/a>, the chef and owner of the celebrated Eleven Madison Park in New York. Two years later, during the first year of the Covid pandemic, it was purchased by the seller, Peter Galliaert, a Belgian former real estate agent with a love of architecture, for $3.4 million.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI decided before opening the door that I would run for it,\u201d Galliaert said during a video tour<\/a> of the home. He could not immediately be reached for further comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The approach to the home is through a narrow gate beside the driveway, opening to a front gravel courtyard and the uninterrupted facade, except for a row of clerestory windows. Upon walking inside, the view immediately opens up through the glass walls to the mountains beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Galliaert restored some of the home\u2019s elements, including mosaics by Elsa Sale, and upgraded some appliances and systems, according to Langen. His main focus was the landscaping, which appears effortlessly one with the surrounding environment, the agent said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason it\u2019s special is that it\u2019s not abrupt; it blends with nature,\u201d Langen said. \u201cIt\u2019s in sync with the architecture. It doesn\u2019t have an ego, it just blends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Langen recently sold another Neutra house, the only home he completed as part of the Case Study program. Located in Pacific Palisades, the 1948 home came to market<\/a> in September and sold shortly afterwards for $5.275 million, part of a two-home deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Sale House first listed in June with another brokerage asking just under $8 million and was relisted with Langen and Lopez over the weekend. It can be difficult to price architecturally significant homes, Langen said, since the utility has to be weighed together with the artistic value.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A classic mid-century home by master architect Richard Neutra in Los Angeles\u2019s Brentwood neighborhood has come back to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":295773,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[267],"tags":[88730,367,595,365,43360,362,363,364,79,82632,1374,1360,82648,86458,86459,86471,86472,86460,86473,366,89516,18,117,3334,19,86451,86464,17,86869,86880,1370,1539,9436,44285,1361,89517,86870,86881,26243,89515,384,85544,86474],"class_list":{"0":"post-295772","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-arts-and-design","8":"tag-architects","9":"tag-architecture","10":"tag-art","11":"tag-arts","12":"tag-arts-entertainment","13":"tag-arts-and-design","14":"tag-artsanddesign","15":"tag-artsdesign","16":"tag-business","17":"tag-business-consumer-services","18":"tag-california","19":"tag-construction","20":"tag-consumer-services","21":"tag-content-type-content-type-article","22":"tag-content-type-content-type-gallery","23":"tag-content-type_content-type-article","24":"tag-content-type_content-type-gallery","25":"tag-credited-by-mansion-global","26":"tag-credited_by_mansion_global","27":"tag-design","28":"tag-design-services","29":"tag-eire","30":"tag-entertainment","31":"tag-general-news","32":"tag-ie","33":"tag-integration-apple-news","34":"tag-integration_apple-news","35":"tag-ireland","36":"tag-location-market-los-angeles-metropolitan-area","37":"tag-location_market-los-angeles-metropolitan-area","38":"tag-los-angeles","39":"tag-north-america","40":"tag-political","41":"tag-political-general-news","42":"tag-real-estate","43":"tag-real-estate-construction","44":"tag-subject-subject-new-listings","45":"tag-subject_subject-new-listings","46":"tag-synd","47":"tag-technical-services","48":"tag-united-states","49":"tag-western-u-s","50":"tag-wsj-pro-mansion-global"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295772","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=295772"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/295772\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/295773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=295772"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=295772"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=295772"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
