One of the hillside platform homes in Sherman Oaks designed by legendary modernist architect Richard Neutra has landed on the open market this season with a $2.05 million ask. The 1,800 sq. ft. two-and-two features a series of roof lights, newer steel-framed doors and windows, and a glassy living room with thrillingly abrupt views and a two-sided linear fireplace in a masonry accent wall painted a thunderhead shade of grey that echoes the exterior color of the far side of the home.

The position of the home makes for a frisson-punctuated living style. Walls on the canyon side are floor-to-ceiling glass panes separated only by metal framing, inflecting the main living area with an immediate and profound connection to the landscape.

The 1965-built home’s use of skylights, including pyramid units — the larger multi-pane glass extensions borrowed from industrial architecture — liberates many of the home’s individual rooms, with one installed directly over the dining room, illuminating a bar on one side and a display room on the other.

The home’s outdoor living space includes a sitting area.
