Come live the California dream! Just a few minutes walk to the beach you can relax in the tranquil simplicity of a rare piece of California history. Designed in 1938 by famed mid-century modernist architect Richard Neutra, The Leon Barsha House was saved from the Hollywood Freeway expansion in the 70’s and moved to Santa Monica. It is now beautifully restored and included on the Historic Registry as a home of “International Style”.

California living at its best - light, open and airy with floor to ceiling windows and 2 outdoor shallow reflecting/splash pools. Updated and beautifully restored, the comfortable home combines unique details - like the Ford headlamp used in only 2 of Neutra’s homes as an exterior light - it retains its period design (and quirks!)

Walk a few blocks to Santa Monica beach, grab a coffee or smoothie with the locals at our neighborhood airstream cafe - Rustic Coffee, buy gourmet goodies and farmers market fruits and veggies at our neighborhood Canyon Square, walk to Rihanna’s favorite LA restaurant - Giorgio Baldi, or the neighborhood historic steakhouse - Golden Bull, hike in the nearby canyons, climb the famed Santa Monica steps just 2 blocks away (great for exercise, people watching and the view!), enjoy shopping and restaurants on Montana Avenue or in Palisades Village. Minutes from the Santa Monica Pier, Rustic Canyon playground, street performers, shopping, cinemas and cafes on The 3rd Street Promenade. A short drive or bike ride to Venice Beach, the Venice Canals, shopping and eating on Venice's Abbott Kinney Boulevard - GQ's "coolest block in America", Santa Monica's farmer's markets, Malibu, Brentwood and the Pacific Palisades.

A perfect California get away for families or friends, business or pleasure, a romantic private retreat for couples.

Like the house itself the objects in our home are lived with, loved and have a story. Come add your stories and make our home your own!


Public transportation taking you anywhere in LA is conveniently located at the corner and Santa Monica attractions are minutes away.
