Pristine Neutra in Nichols Canyon hits the market for the first time

Named the Hendershot Residence for its first owners, this International-style house in leafy Nichols Canyon was designed by Richard Neutra and later expanded by his son, Dion Neutra.

The modernist architect used walls of floor-to-ceiling glass to bring in views of the multilevel home’s natural setting: a peaceful stream set amid mature trees and foliage. In the lower-level living room, a trap door with an extending staircase leads to the art studio of late Japanese American painter Harumi Hendershot.
