In Studio City, a work of celebrated modernist architect Rudolph M. Schindler has sold for a little over $4.882 million.
Known as the Lechner House, the Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument dates to the late 1940s and is among the architect’s last projects. It hit the market in July — following a decade-long restoration by Los Angeles-based designer Pamela Shamshiri — for $4.8 million and sold in about five weeks, records show.
The distinct residence, with jagged lines and bands of clerestories, was designed to take in its verdant outdoor surroundings. An open great room with walls of floor-to-ceiling windows lies on the second story, allowing for eye-level views of the surrounding tree-tops. The dining room opens to a tree-topped dining patio. In other areas such as the breakfast nook, interior walls have been replaced with glass to pull the view further inside.
