Nestled on a 30,800 square foot lot, the property offers 2,032 square feet of luxurious living space with 3 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms.Inspired by Neutras 1949 Time Magazine cover, the Logars commissioned Neutra to envision a home that would embody the modernist spirit.

The carport, emerging from the house, creates the effect of layered planes along the faade, enhancing its visual appeal.

William Stephenson
The Royal Crest Estates
16045 Royal Mount Dr, Encino, CA
$2,895,000

Architect William R. Stephenson --1964. There is a particular kind of house that resists the markets churn -- one that has never been flipped, never been staged for someone elses taste, never been touched without genuine consideration. This is one of those houses. Designed by William Stephenson -- who came up through Frank Lloyd Wrights Taliesin fellowship before building a distinguished independent practice in Los Angeles -- the residence sits within Encinos Royal Oaks, on a quiet cul-de-sac in the hills, where it has belonged to a single family since the year it was completed. Stephensons portfolio included the Pacific Palisades home commissioned by Ronald and Nancy Reagan, work that speaks to both his standing and his sensibility: architecture that serves life without announcing itself at every turn. The house announces its intentions from the moment you step inside. The entryway is anchored in warm wood paneling -- walnut-toned, rich without being heavy -- that sets a tone carried throughout the home in built-in cabinetry and millwork that could only have been designed and installed in the early 1960s, when craftsmen still built things to last generations. There is a cohesion to these elements that no renovation could replicate. They werent selected from a catalog. They were made for this house. The hall offers one of the homes more quietly charming originals: a cedar-lined closet, fragrant and intact, built expressly for the lady of the house. It is the sort of detail that speaks volumes about how this home was lived in -- deliberately, graciously, and with a certain style that belongs to another era entirely. Like so much here, it has never been touched because it never needed to be. That same era gave the home its bar -- an original wet bar, intact and fully functional, of the kind that once defined a certain mode of California living and has since become nearly impossible to find in original condition. It is, in the truest sense, irreplaceable. Four be
