From the Agent: "Secreted away, atop a steep knoll adjacent to the Verdugo Mountains Open Space Preserve, just north of Glendale, sits the masterfully restored pied-à-terre that Richard Neutra built, in 1961, for Maurice and Marceil Taylor. In the architectural enclave of Whiting Woods, the aptly named Taylor House has undergone a meticulous three-year restoration and preservation that would delight any midcentury purist. The two-bedroom, two-bath home, epitomizes Neutra’s tenet of therapeutic architecture, with its massive plate glass sliders that allow a free-flowing dialectic between inside and out. The inconspicuous facade provides an additional layer of privacy for the jewel box, sited in a sylvan setting among heritage oaks. Neutra’s intentional design delays the reveal of that arboreal view upon entering the house; the sight-lines are forced to one end of the brick fireplace, and a burlap-covered art wall, revealed upon entering the open-concept main room with cork floors and a north facing wall of glass extending the full length of the house."
