Case Study House #21, immortalized by photographer
Julius Shulman, is for sale. The asking price is $4,500,000. Known as the Bailey House, the 2 bedroom/2 bath 1280 sf home was designed by architect Pierre Koenig for psychologist Walter Bailey and his wife Mary in 1958 and was featured in the February 1959 issue of
Arts & Architecture as part of the magazine's
Case Study Program.
In 1997 the current owner of the home, film producer Dan Cracchiolo (of
Matrix, Lethal Weapon and
Conspiracy Theory fame), asked Koenig to supervise a complete restoration, as it had suffered many alterations over the years. The work was completed in 1999.
The house sits on a 12,450 sf lot in West Hollywood and has a spectacular canyon view.

ReplyDeleteOh, to have a spare 4.5 million dollars lying around somewhere! :)
DeleteWow, that's amazing. I especially love the view out of the bedroom, it looks like you are in a secluded hideaway. California dreaming. Cheers - CT
ReplyDeleteI imagine the views are equally gorgeous out of every window. The listing specifies that it has a canyon view, so if it's important enough to add as a feature of the listing, it must be pretty spectacular!
DeleteLove it! This home would be like living within a Mondrian painting.
ReplyDeleteYes! All those black lines and angles...perfect analogy!
DeleteAmazing! Ah, we can all dream. Thanks Dana.
