Tucked behind a gated drive in the hills of Bel Air, The Brown House at 10801 Chalon Road is a landmark of 20th-century modernism. Regal yet inviting, this home balances iconic, clean-lined design with contemporary comforts—and just wait until you see the view. Represented by Paul Lester, Aileen Comora and Daniel Stevenson, of The Agency alongside Compass’ Chris Cortazzo, this extraordinary home presents an exciting opportunity to own one of architect Richard Neutra’s most celebrated works.
Originally commissioned in 1955 by the Sidney family, The Brown House is one of Neutra’s few remaining Los Angeles homes with a double-wide living room—a rarity in mid-century design. Inside, find restored terrazzo floors, built-in furnishings, and original cabinetry. Walls of glass invite the beauty of the outdoors in, capture daylong natural light, and frame far-reaching panoramas of downtown’s skyline and Pacific Ocean beyond.
Carefully restored by award-winning Los Angeles-based design firm Marmol Radziner, the home maintains an enticing mix of visual and atmospheric dynamism. The estate is showstopping at every angle, from the roofline-integrated water feature and striking brise soleil exterior to the stainless-steel-legged pool pavilion that seems to float into the hillside.
Most recently, The Brown House has undergone a thoughtful design evolution, curated by interior designer Trevor Cheney and landscape architect Scott Shrader. The result is a masterclass in richly textured material layering, encompassing touchably soft mohair, walnut wood paneling, steel, and rare Italian antiques—all of which harmonize alongside the original architecture.
The surrounding gardens, equally intentional, envelop the home in mature greenery and create a true oasis, just a short drive from Westwood, Brentwood and Beverly Hills.
