Hollywood Hills Icon: Stahl House Waits for Buyer
16 Sep
Summary
- The iconic Stahl House, also known as Case Study House No. 22, is for sale.
- Its historic status restricts significant remodeling or expansion by new owners.
- The owners seek a buyer who values its architectural significance and history.
The Stahl House, an iconic mid-century modern home in the Hollywood Hills, remains on the market as of September 2026. Originally listed for $25 million in late 2025, the property's price was reduced by $5 million nearly a year later, yet it has yet to attract a buyer.
Famous for its glass walls and panoramic views, the house, also known as Case Study House No. 22, was a product of the optimistic Case Study House program. Photographer Julius Shulman's 1960 image of its 'floating corner' cemented its place in architectural history.
However, modern buyers face significant challenges. The two-bedroom, 2,200-square-foot home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument. These designations strictly limit remodeling or expansion possibilities, a drawback in a neighborhood where larger, newer homes are common.
The Stahl family, custodians of the home for over six decades, emphasize their desire for a buyer who understands and respects the building's importance. The search continues for a steward who sees beyond mere real estate, recognizing the house as a piece of history.
