Designed in 1946 by renowned architect Rudolph Schindler, the Kallis-Sharlin Residence is a striking example of site-driven modernism, dramatically set into a steep hillside with expansive views over the San Fernando Valley. Originally built for artist and film art director Mischa Kallis, the home follows the natural contours of the land, with layered volumes, terraces, and walls of glass that connect the interiors to the surrounding landscape. Inside, Schindler's signature design language is on full display, with unconventional angles, abundant natural light, and a strong sense of flow between spaces. The iconic butterfly roof brings in clerestory light throughout the home, while warm materials - most notably mahogany and Douglas fir walls, ceilings and built-in furniture - add richness and character. Distinctive grape-stake cladding wraps portions of the exterior, allowing the home to blend seamlessly into its wooded setting while enhancing privacy. Additional features include four fireplaces, a spa-like steam shower, a mahogany soaking tub, a glass-enclosed office, climate-controlled basement storage, a rare private bocce court and a swimmers pool and jacuzzi. Designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #860, the Kallis-Sharlin Residence underwent a thoughtful, multi-year restoration from 2017-2022 in collaboration with Barbara Bestor and Jeff Fink. The result is a beautifully preserved and highly livable architectural landmark - offering a rare opportunity to own a significant and celebrated piece of Los Angeles design history.
