Description

Never before on market, the 1936 Baby Grand Piano Studio is an early Modernist example of one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century: Richard Neutra. Custom-built for notable local writer David Malcolmson and now restored to its original condition, this prized gem has been published widely in architectural books and magazines as The Mother-In-Law & The David Malcolmson Guest House. This pied-a-terre with expansive curved wall of windows framing the canyon and the terraced garden...Never before on market, the 1936 Baby Grand Piano Studio is an early Modernist example of one of the most influential architects of the twentieth century: Richard Neutra. Custom-built for notable local writer David Malcolmson and now restored to its original condition, this prized gem has been published widely in architectural books and magazines as The Mother-In-Law & The David Malcolmson Guest House. This pied-a-terre with expansive curved wall of windows framing the canyon and the terraced garden below is a small but private artistic haven, and can be your great sunny coastal sanctuary, perfect for snowbirds escaping harsh winters or local professionals looking for a chic studio space. Located in the desirable Santa Monica Canyon, but technically in the City of LA in the Palisades School District. Tucked away from the city hustle, moments to the beach, Rustic Canyon Park tennis courts, local restaurants, and shops. Experience life in a historical piece of art.
