Richard Neutra / Chuey House

You would think that if a house like this, by an architectural master like Richard Richard Neutra, were for sale, the seller might want to mention it.

In this case, it isn't. This is also the only photo of the house shown on the MLS. Unfortunately, this is another case of expensive real estate and a small home. The property is being marketed as a $10.5 million "development opportunity."

The zoning is LAR1 and the slope is something fierce, so development is limited to one dwelling unit and would be very tricky.

However, this view has me nervous about the fait of the little architectural gem.

That listing actually showed the house, which appears to be in excellent condition.

The house was built in 1956 for Josephine Ain Chuey and her husband Robert Chuey. They were both artists. Josephine had been married to Gregory Ain. That's her sitting on the patio in 1960.

Julius Shulman shot the house in 1960.

Josephine Chuey passed away in 2004 and the house was inherited by her niece and nephew, who still own it. They seem to be in financial trouble, leaving the house in a strange situation with a bankruptcy court having final say in the sale. Read about that and more at Curbed.

I wonder what happened to the Neutra furniture? There's the obvious "Boomerang" chair and then a "Tremaine" chair by the fire.
