Hovering above Studio City, an architectural icon is hidden just off of Mulholland Drive. This 1946 masterpiece was crafted by Rudolph Schindler. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the early mid-century home includes 3,549 square feet of living space. Priced at $5,995,000, 3580 Multiview Dr, Los Angeles, is listed by Cooper Mount and Hanna Ginsberg at Carolwood Estates.
Known as the Kallis-Sharlin Residence, this structure is one of the early examples of modernism in the Hollywood Hills. Rudolph Schindler built several homes that changed the landscape of Los Angeles architecture. As a designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument, this property is undoubtedly one of his most influential.
Designed for artist and film art director Mischa Kallis, the home was shaped around the experience of living and creating within the landscape. Its stepped layout follows the slope of the site, with connected indoor and outdoor spaces that open directly onto the terrain.
The fluid structure lends itself to an artistic retreat, allowing the boundaries between work, relaxation, and creativity to remain open and flexible. Large glass panels maximize natural light and views, while concrete, wood, and stone are used to echo the surrounding tones and textures.
The composition introduces unconventional angles and a continuous sense of movement between spaces, with a distinctive butterfly roof that channels light deep into the interior. Warm timber finishes, including mahogany and Douglas fir, add depth and visually ground the space. The home also includes four stone fireplaces and countless period built-ins.
For luxurious living, there is a spa-like steam shower and a mahogany soaking tub. Modern upgrades include central air conditioning and heat, including a climate-controlled underground storage space. The home has been updated to suit current standards without losing an inch of its original character and charm.
Portions of the exterior are wrapped in grape-stake cladding, helping the house blend into its wooded surroundings while adding privacy. The grounds also include a private bocce court, along with a fully modernized swimming pool and jacuzzi set within a large patio designed for outdoor entertaining.
From the unconventional angles to the extensive use of glass, this home is a modernist composition with striking geometry. It is a truly unique property with a rich history and one-of-a-kind construction. As a work of Rudolph Schindler, the house reflects his broader exploration of site-responsive modernism in the Hollywood Hills.
