An oversized attached garage, underground utilities, and a convenient position between the city and the Valley further distinguish the setting. Fully permitted and nearly three years in the making, 11411 Dona Teresa is a rare work of residential architecture shaped by its view, its changing light, and an exceptional level of design and craftsmanship.

Case Study House 22 --- universally known as the Stahl House --- stands as one of the most important residential works of the 20th century: a museum-grade architectural artifact preserved with exceptional care and offered now, for the first time, by the original family. Designed by Pierre Koenig for Buck and Carlotta Stahl, the home became immortalized through Julius Shulman's legendary 1960 photograph, later recognized by Time Magazine as one of the most influential images in the publication's 200-year history. Its impact on architecture, visual culture, and the global perception of Los Angeles remains unparalleled. Privately positioned at the end of a gated drive, the property offers a rare combination of discretion, security, and serenity high above the city, with exterior cameras supporting the home's privacy. This offering represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to acquire a true cultural landmark. For collectors of design, patrons of architecture, or institutions seeking to safeguard an American masterpiece, there is simply nothing comparable. Koenig's disciplined steel structure, its floating corner, and the sweeping 270-degree panorama of the city create a living environment that is at once serene, elemental, and awe-inspiring. A City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the home carries its Mills Act designation and an unbroken chain of family stewardship since 1960. While the Stahl House stands as one of the most significant and carefully preserved architectural residences of the 20th century, the house also presents opportunities for thoughtful restoration, modernization, and personalization undertaken in accordance with the property's architectural significance and applicable preservation guidelines. This is not merely a sale; it is a passing of responsibility --- a search for the next custodian who will honor the house's history, respect its architectural purity, and ensure its preservation for generations to come. In a city filled with remarkable homes, there is only one Stahl House. For the right buyer, this is a legacy to carry forward. Shown to pre-qualified clients only.
