Listed by the Los Angeles-based real estate agency Smith & Berg Partners, the one-story Adler House by Richard Neutra hosts at its heart a spacious step-down living room anchored by a stone fireplace, with access to a front deck. Adjacent to the living area, the dining room features an original built-in cabinet and flows into the updated kitchen, illuminated by a skylight and equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, including a Sub-Zero fridge and double oven, and offers a view out to the pool deck. Throughout, hardwood tiling brings extra warmth to the living spaces.

Meanwhile, the primary suite is lined with windows framing canyon vistas. It offers a generous walk-in closet, a dual-vanity ensuite with a double shower and a rain-head fixture, as well as direct access to the backyard. On the opposite wing of the home, two spacious secondary bedrooms share a bathroom and have views overlooking the outdoor deck, one with a secret hidden door to a walk-in closet. One can access the private backyard through sliding glass, wholly secluded by greenery. Here, a sparkling pool, spa, turf lawn, and sundeck are ideal for alfresco gatherings or quiet contemplation amongst tranquil canyon surrounds.
