About this home

Perched in the East Hollywood Hills, the Jason Hailey House is a Richard Neutra treasure, restored with reverence and creativity. Originally completed in 1959, the residence remains remarkably intact, preserved by a succession of owners who honored its modernist design. Drawing on archival research, restoration lead Barbara Lamprecht - architectural historian and author of Neutra: Complete Works - oversaw the project with Los Angeles based artist and interior decorator Anthony Barsoumian and Andrew Gray Studio. Their work preserves Neutra's original design while introducing updates for modern living. Discreet enhancements including glass balcony railings, refreshed kitchen and baths, and a warm, neutral palette bring light and clarity to the interiors. Flexible walls allow spaces to adapt, while floor-to-ceiling glass frames sweeping views and seamlessly connects indoors to the surrounding landscape. Modern amenities, including Miele appliances, central air conditioning, and a wired sound system, are thoughtfully integrated. The home balances mid-century character with refined modern sophistication, creating a space that is both inviting and elegant. Designed for entertaining, it exemplifies California modernism: efficient, graceful, and enduring. Outside, John Sharp's sustainable, sculptural gardens extend the modernist ethos into the landscape. Shaded terraces offer space for dining, gatherings, or quiet retreat, with a fire pit, sunken hot tub, and small open-air theater. The lower level includes a finished bonus room and a large storage area, formerly a creative workspace. Lower level is not included in the square footage. Archival photographs by Julius Shulman.
