Roxy Roth House · Studio City

An intact 1946 R.M. Schindler in the hills above Ventura Boulevard, with a writer's studio by Barbara Bestor, and an honest answer on how big it actually is.

The Roxy Roth House at a glance

The Roxy Roth House is a 1946 R.M. Schindler residence at 3624 Buena Park Drive, Studio City, Los Angeles, California 91604, one of the most intact examples of his postwar work. It has had four owners in nearly eighty years, all creatives, and carries a later writer's studio by architect Barbara Bestor, converted from the original carport. This is a private residence.

There is a house at the end of a quiet Studio City cul-de-sac that most people drive past without registering what they are looking at. It sits above the street, low and unassuming, and to anyone who knows the language it reads instantly. That is exactly what R.M. Schindler intended, and it is the reason houses like this one keep getting missed by the market before they are found by the right buyer.

Debbie Pisaro works as an architectural real estate agent in Los Angeles, and the Roxy Roth House is the kind of property she follows closely, because an intact Schindler trades on a different logic than everything else on the street. What follows is the house, the architect, the addition, and the parts of the record that do not agree with each other, which on a property like this is where the useful information lives.

The house

What is the Roxy Roth House?

The Roxy Roth House is a 1946 R.M. Schindler residence at 3624 Buena Park Drive in Studio City, commissioned by the screenwriter and actor Roxy Roth and built on a hillside lot of roughly 8,132 square feet. It is three bedrooms and three en-suite baths, and it retains its original built-ins, picture windows and spatial choreography. Four owners have held it in nearly eight decades, every one of them working in a creative field, and one of them wrote publicly about living in it for the Los Angeles Times.

That ownership pattern is not a coincidence and it is not just a nice detail. A house organised around a writer's need for a particular kind of light and a particular kind of quiet tends to find writers. It is also why the later addition works as well as it does.

The number nobody agrees on

How big is the house? The published figures disagree

Two readings of this house circulate and they are about four hundred square feet apart. One describes a main house of roughly 1,564 square feet plus a studio of roughly 400, totalling about 1,964. The other describes 1,964 square feet of residence with the studio as a separate 400 on top of that. On a house under 2,400 square feet that is a material spread, and it is the kind of gap that quietly decides a price per foot.

Rather than pick one and present it as settled, here is what is actually true. The Bestor studio is a conversion of the original carport, which means whether it counts as living area depends entirely on how it was permitted, and permitted area is the only version that matters in a transaction. Pull the assessor record and the permit history before you rely on any published figure, on this house or any other one like it. On an architectural property the square footage is frequently the least reliable number attached to it, because the spaces that make the house interesting are the ones that resist easy measurement.

Buyer's note

On a house of this size, four hundred square feet is roughly a fifth of the property. If a price per square foot is being quoted at you, ask which figure it is built on and whether the studio is permitted living area.

The architecture

A Schindler in the hills above Ventura Boulevard

The critic Reyner Banham wrote that Schindler designed as if there had never been houses before, and standing inside the Roxy Roth House makes the line literal. The plan does not follow logic so much as experience. A visitor moves through it the way they move through a landscape, discovering space rather than occupying rooms. An understated entry leads first to a generous bedroom on the lower level before ascending to the main living level, where light arrives from three directions.

The boundary between inside and outside does not quite hold. The primary suite has a folding screen that opens to a borrowed view of the living room and the valley beyond, a gesture so particular to this architect that it reads as a signature. The massive picture window framing the San Fernando Valley from the living and dining level is the emotional centre, flanked by Schindler's original built-ins: functional alcoves, concealed storage, the kind of cabinetry that only happens when an architect treats furniture and architecture as one problem. Sloping timber slat ceilings heighten the volume without excess, and the valley becomes a permanent element of the room, framed rather than competed with.

Schindler designed as if there had never been houses before.
The studio

The Barbara Bestor studio

One of the most compelling features of the house is not Schindler's work. It is what came after. A previous owner commissioned Barbara Bestor, one of the most respected contemporary architects working in Los Angeles, to convert the original carport into a roughly 400-square-foot writer's studio. Lined with clerestory windows and detailed with the same restraint as the main house, it extends Schindler's logic rather than competing with it.

This is rarer in architectural real estate than it sounds: a Schindler property carrying a sympathetic addition by a named contemporary architect. Most additions to significant houses are subtractions in disguise. Bestor's is the kind of work that only happens when an architect understands what they are inheriting and decides to serve it, and it is the same restraint she later brought to Lautner's Silvertop in Silver Lake. That combination shows up in the comp set, and it is part of what makes the property valuable beyond any square-footage figure.

The architect

R.M. Schindler in context

Rudolph Michael Schindler was born in Vienna in 1887 and arrived in the United States in 1914, drawn by the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. He worked in Wright's office before establishing his own practice in Los Angeles, where he became, alongside Richard Neutra, one of the foundational architects of California modernism. The two were close enough that the Neutras lived at Schindler's Kings Road house from 1925 to 1930, and rivals enough that the friendship did not survive the decade. He worked with a softer, more playful sensibility than Neutra's cooler precision, and the first major retrospective of his work, The Architecture of R.M. Schindler, ran at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles from February to June 2001 before travelling to the National Building Museum and MAK Vienna. The Roxy Roth House sits squarely in his postwar period, when he was working at his most refined.

His surviving work is scattered across the region: the Schindler House on Kings Road in West Hollywood, now the MAK Center and on the National Register, plus the Silver Lake hillsides, the Hollywood Hills, the San Fernando Valley, the Buck House in the Miracle Mile, and as far south as the Lovell Beach House in Newport Beach. The nearest sibling to this one is across the hill, the Van Dekker House in Woodland Hills, built in 1940 and at 3,756 square feet one of the largest houses he ever designed. Debbie tracks that footprint alongside the rest of the Studio City record, from the 1961 USC Case Study house on Laurelcrest to the Hackett House, and for the eastside collector the same stewardship questions play out on familiar ground in the Los Feliz neighborhood guide.

The MAK Center, which operates the Kings Road house, puts Schindler at roughly 500 designed projects and about 150 built. Most of the built work remains in private hands, many of the houses that reach the market have been altered past recognition, and none of that is captured by a price per square foot. The intact ones occupy their own tier and their own conversation.

The money

What an architectural home is actually worth

Pricing an intact Schindler is the conversation Debbie has most often when a house like this comes up, and the honest answer is that architectural provenance does not follow price-per-square-foot logic. This house makes the point on its own record. In October 2017 it was asked at $2,295,000 against a stated 1,564 square feet; it traded in 2018 for roughly $2 million; and the square footage attached to it since has been described as 1,964 plus the studio. An asking price is not a sale, a stated square footage is not a permitted one, and neither number was derived from the neighbourhood.

The comp set for a verified Schindler is national rather than local, and it is small enough that a single sale moves the whole conversation. When buyers ask whether provenance commands a premium in Studio City, the answer depends entirely on the architect, the condition and the integrity of the original design. For a verified Schindler with intact built-ins and a well-considered contemporary addition, yes. For a mid-century-style house from 1962 with a recent flip, no. The difference is not aesthetic. It is structural to how the property is valued, marketed and sold, which is why pricing a one-of-a-kind architectural home is its own discipline and why a number on a Schindler is an argument rather than a printout.

The buyer's side

Buying or selling an architectural home in Studio City

Most agents are perfectly competent at selling a renovated three-bedroom on a flat lot. An architectural home is a different transaction. The buyer pool is smaller and more specific. The comp set is national. Disclosures, permits and historic considerations carry more weight, and as this house shows, even the square footage needs verifying rather than repeating. Photography and storytelling do the work a feature list cannot.

Debbie Pisaro is a 24-year veteran of both sides of that table, a 2025 Inman Luxury Leader, and the founder of Coastline 840. With sellers it is about positioning a Schindler, a Gregory Ain or a Lloyd Wright so the right buyer finds it, which is the same work behind selling a mid-century view home in the Studio City hills. With buyers it is about understanding what you are actually taking stewardship of, and having independent representation rather than relying on the listing side. The wider record sits on her architectural homes page and the terms on the architectural homes specialist page, and she is among the names owners weigh when they search for an architectural real estate agent in Los Angeles or the best Los Angeles historic and architectural real estate agent. On the Valley side, Just Studio City covers the same ground street by street.

Frequently asked questions

The Roxy Roth House, answered

Where is the Roxy Roth House?

At 3624 Buena Park Drive, Studio City, Los Angeles, California 91604, at the end of a hillside cul-de-sac above Ventura Boulevard with views south over the San Fernando Valley. It is a private residence and is not open to the public, so it is best understood from the record rather than from the street.

Who designed the Roxy Roth House?

R.M. Schindler designed it in 1946, in the postwar stretch of his career when his planning was at its most refined. The later writer's studio, converted from the original carport and lined with clerestory windows, was designed by the contemporary Los Angeles architect Barbara Bestor, who also worked on John Lautner's Silvertop in Silver Lake.

How big is the Roxy Roth House?

Published figures disagree by roughly four hundred square feet. One reading is 1,964 square feet of residence plus a separate studio of about 400. The other describes 1,964 as the combined total, with a main house of about 1,564. The lot is roughly 8,132 square feet. Confirm permitted area against the assessor and permit record before relying on any figure.

Who was Roxy Roth?

A screenwriter and actor, and the client who commissioned the house from Schindler in 1946. The property is named for him, as Schindler houses conventionally are. Every owner since has also worked in a creative field, which is a pattern worth noticing in a house designed around a writer's requirements for light and for quiet.

Who was R.M. Schindler?

Rudolph Michael Schindler, 1887 to 1953, was a Vienna-born architect who came to the United States in 1914, worked in Frank Lloyd Wright's office and established his own Los Angeles practice. He is one of the foundational architects of California modernism, and the first major retrospective of his work opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles in 2001.

What did Barbara Bestor add to the house?

She converted the original carport into a roughly 400-square-foot writer's studio lined with clerestory windows, detailed to extend Schindler's design language rather than compete with it. A sympathetic addition by a named contemporary architect is rare on a significant house, and it shows up in the comp set as an asset rather than as an alteration.

What has the Roxy Roth House traded for?

It was asked at $2,295,000 in October 2017 against a stated 1,564 square feet, and traded in 2018 for roughly $2 million. Intact Schindler residences sit in their own tier rather than on standard price per square foot, so value tracks the architect, the condition and the integrity of the original design far more than neighbourhood comparables do.

How many Schindler houses are there?

The MAK Center, which operates the Schindler House on Kings Road, puts it at roughly 500 designed projects and about 150 built. Most remain privately held, and many that reach the market have been altered past recognition. Intact examples like the Roxy Roth House are rare and trade infrequently, which is part of why they draw a national buyer pool.

Does architectural provenance add value in Studio City?

It depends on the architect, the condition and the integrity of the original design. A verified Schindler with intact built-ins and a sympathetic name-architect addition commands a premium and draws a national buyer pool. A mid-century-style house from 1962 with a recent flip does not. Provenance changes how the property is valued, how it is marketed and how it sells.

The Neutra Bailey House, the only Case Study House he built

Debbie Pisaro August 21, 2026
Pacific Palisades · Architectural Homes

Case Study House #20 is the only one Richard Neutra ever built, and it is the clearest lesson in what an architectural home like this is actually worth.

Architectural Home9 min read

Most of the houses people call architectural are simply large. The Bailey House is the opposite, and that is the entire point.

The short answer

For anyone typing Case Study House for sale Los Angeles into a search bar, the Bailey House is the archetype: Case Study House #20 in Pacific Palisades, the only Case Study House Richard Neutra ever built, at 219 Chautauqua Boulevard in Pacific Palisades. These architectural homes trade on rarity and authorship rather than square footage, and they rarely reach the open market. Debbie Pisaro of Coastline 840, a 24-year veteran of the California market and a 2025 Inman Luxury Leader (California DRE #01369110), represents buyers and sellers of Case Study and named-architect homes across Los Angeles.

The House

What is the Bailey House, Case Study House #20?

The Bailey House at 219 Chautauqua Boulevard, Pacific Palisades, CA 90272, is a 1948 residence and the only home Richard Neutra designed for the Case Study House Program run by Arts & Architecture magazine. Built for dentist Dr. Stuart Bailey and his wife June as a modest, expandable postwar home, it uses Neutra's Four-Courter plan to dissolve the line between indoor and outdoor living.

When editor John Entenza launched the program in 1945, the brief was not to build monuments. It was to imagine how ordinary Americans might live well in the modern postwar world, using new materials, open plans, and an honest relationship to the California landscape. Thirty-six designs were commissioned. Only about two dozen were built. Of all of them, Richard Neutra, one of the towering figures of twentieth-century architecture, contributed exactly one. This is it, which is why it anchors almost any serious conversation about architectural homes of the era.

A planned Case Study House #21 from Neutra was announced and never built, which leaves House #20 as his sole realized entry in the series. For a buyer, that is the difference between owning a beautiful midcentury home and owning a documented piece of the canon. The house was later restored by Marmol Radziner and stewarded by owners including The Simpsons co-creator Sam Simon, a provenance that keeps it historically intact. Neutra sited it on a low bluff above the coast, a short walk from the Eames House, in what preservationists consider one of the most important concentrations of modernist architecture anywhere in the country.

The Design

The Four-Courter, and why it feels bigger than it is

Neutra designed the Bailey House around a concept he called the Four-Courter: wings pinwheeled around a sequence of small courtyards, so that nearly every room opens through sliding glass to its own piece of sky and garden. The street face is deliberately quiet, in keeping with the program's ethos of restraint. The drama is held for the interior.

This is the lesson Neutra spent his career teaching, that light and proportion matter more than volume, and the Bailey House is that lesson in its most disciplined form. The Baileys understood what they had. They lived in the house for more than fifty years and twice brought Neutra back, in 1950 and again in 1958, to expand it as their lives changed. That continuity of authorship, the same architect refining the same house across a decade, is rare, and it is part of what makes the provenance so clean. For a market that prizes originality above almost everything, a house that was only ever shaped by the hand that designed it is close to the ideal.

A Case Study House is not a style of home. It is a chapter of American history you happen to live inside.
The Market

What a Case Study House is actually worth

Search Case Study House for sale Los Angeles and the results teach the wrong lesson, because they invite a price-per-foot comparison that does not apply. A house like the Bailey is valued on scarcity, authorship, and provenance. The right comparison set is the handful of other Case Study Houses that have traded and the small universe of significant Richard Neutra homes in Los Angeles, not the house next door. A buyer who measures a Case Study House against a new build of the same size will always conclude it is expensive; a buyer who measures it against the twenty-odd Case Study Houses that survive understands exactly what the number represents.

That is a statewide, sometimes national, analysis rather than a Pacific Palisades one, and it is where conventional valuation tools fall short. It is also why representation matters at this level. As the best Los Angeles historic and architectural real estate agent for work of this kind, Debbie Pisaro builds comparable analysis around the architectural market specifically, and on how to price an architectural home the methodology matters more than the comps a general search returns. See how the Bailey sits among seven iconic architectural homes in Los Angeles.

Buyer's Note

Never assume a famous house carries the designation a listing implies. With Case Study Houses especially, confirm the monument status and any Mills Act contract in the public record before you model the tax picture.

The Lineage

Neutra, Schindler, and the LA bloodline

The Bailey House does not stand alone. Richard Neutra and his contemporary R.M. Schindler both came out of the studio of Frank Lloyd Wright before establishing themselves in Los Angeles, where the two Austrians became colleagues, then rivals. Their work is one family tree, and reading where a given house sits on it is the fluency that separates a specialist from a generalist.

That lineage runs through the whole modernist canon Debbie Pisaro covers in The Architects, from Gregory Ain to A. Quincy Jones and Craig Ellwood, whose own Case Study House sits a few miles away. The full record of these architectural homes lives across the architectural homes collection at debbiepisaro.com.

For the Buyer

Buying a Case Study House, done right

Debbie Pisaro is a 24-year veteran of the California market and a 2025 Inman Luxury Leader, and she represents architectural buyers independently, with no developer or single-listing allegiance. With a house this important, the value lives in the original fabric, so a buyer needs a team that knows the difference between a sympathetic restoration and a remodel that quietly erases what made the house matter.

Historic designation is the question to verify first. Where a Mills Act contract exists it can be one of the most significant financial levers in the entire transaction, reducing property taxes in exchange for a preservation agreement, as Debbie details in her guide to selling a Mills Act or Historic-Cultural Monument home. That verification, and the modeling that follows, is exactly the work she does before a client writes an offer on a Case Study House for sale Los Angeles buyers rarely get a second chance at.

Debbie Pisaro is not the listing agent for 219 Chautauqua Boulevard. She represents buyers independently on architectural homes across California, and can tour or write an offer on a house like this one the same as on any other home on the open market, alongside her own listed and off-market inventory.

Questions

Where is the Neutra Bailey House?

The Bailey House, Case Study House #20, sits at 219 Chautauqua Boulevard in Pacific Palisades, California 90272, on a low bluff above the coast near the Eames House. It is a private residence and not open to the public, set within one of the most significant concentrations of modernist architecture anywhere in the country.

Is the Bailey House the only Case Study House Neutra designed?

Yes. Richard Neutra contributed a single realized design to the Case Study House Program, House #20, the Bailey House in Pacific Palisades. A second Neutra entry, House #21, was announced but never built, which makes the Bailey House his only completed Case Study residence and one of the most significant architectural homes of the postwar period in Los Angeles.

Is the Neutra Bailey House the same as the Pierre Koenig Bailey House?

No, and the two are often confused by buyers. Neutra's Bailey House is Case Study House #20 in Pacific Palisades. Pierre Koenig designed a separate Bailey House, Case Study House #21 in the Hollywood Hills, which is a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. They are two different houses, built for two different Bailey families, by two different architects.

How much does a Case Study House for sale in Los Angeles cost?

There is no single number, because these architectural homes trade on rarity rather than square footage. Documented Case Study Houses have ranged widely into the multimillions depending on architect, condition, and provenance. The honest comparison set is other Case Study Houses and significant named-architect homes, which is why a specialist prices them by hand rather than by a per-foot formula.

What is the Four-Courter plan?

Neutra organized the plan around a pinwheel of small courtyards, so that most rooms open through sliding glass to a private garden space. The arrangement makes a modest footprint feel expansive and dissolves the boundary between inside and outside. It is a hallmark of Neutra's California work and why the house reads as far bigger than it measures.

How many Case Study Houses exist?

Of the thirty-six Case Study House designs commissioned by Arts & Architecture magazine between 1945 and the mid-1960s, roughly two dozen were built. Surviving examples rarely come to market, and several are protected landmarks, which is a large part of why the ones that do sell command the prices they do among collectors of architectural homes.

Does a Case Study House qualify for the Mills Act?

The Mills Act applies to historically designated properties in participating California jurisdictions. A buyer should confirm a specific home's designation status and whether any Mills Act contract is in place, since that determines the property-tax picture. Several Case Study Houses are designated, so the verification is worth doing carefully with a specialist before an offer is written.

Do I need a specialist real estate agent to buy a Case Study House?

It helps enormously. A Case Study House is valued on authorship, condition, and provenance, and a general real estate agent rarely has the comparable data or the preservation fluency the transaction requires. Debbie Pisaro represents architectural homes specifically across Los Angeles, which means the guidance protects both the architecture and your position at the negotiating table.

Can Debbie Pisaro represent a buyer or seller of a Case Study House?

Yes. Debbie Pisaro of Coastline 840 specializes in architectural, historic, and design-forward homes across California, including Case Study Houses and named-architect residences. She represents buyers and sellers independently, brings the comparable analysis this market requires, and can be reached at debbie@coastline840.com or (310) 362-6429 to talk through a specific home.
