With its sweeping glass walls and awe-inspiring perch high above Los Angeles, the Stahl House is a masterpiece of midcentury-modern architecture. Designed by visionary architect Pierre Koenig, this iconic home has been turning heads since its completion in 1960. Now, after more than six decades, the legendary Case Study House No. 22 is available for purchase at an eye-popping $25 million.
The 2,200-square-foot home, nestled in the Hollywood Hills, was crafted as part of the esteemed Case Study program and has remained in the Stahl family since its inception. The world first glimpsed its grandeur through Julius Shulman's renowned photographs, including the famous shot of two women lounging in the living room with Los Angeles glittering below – an image that became synonymous with modernist style.
“The Stahl House is more than architecture; it’s a statement of the era's bold vision,” remarked a Los Angeles design historian.
Set on a cozy third of an acre, this two-bedroom gem offers a single-story layout with a flat roof that extends dramatically beyond the glass walls, creating a cooling shade that enhances its breezy vibe. The design allows for light-filled interiors while protecting outdoor spaces like the pool court and carport from the sun's rays.
Beyond its residential charm, the Stahl House has played host to a myriad of photo shoots, TV sets, and glamorous soirées, cementing its status as a cultural monument. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and recognized as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, any future owner must ensure its preservation.
The home’s price tag is a hefty $25 million, and it’s listed with William Baker of The Agency Beverly Hills. If you're dreaming of owning a slice of architectural history, now's your chance.
