Own This Neutra-Designed Midcentury Stunner for $2M
Overlooking California’s Palos Verdes Peninsula, the 1950 Coe House celebrates organic modernism and picturesque ocean views.
In 1950, influential architect Richard Neutra added another modernist masterpiece to his portfolio. Set within the gated community of Rolling Hills, near Long Beach, California, the striking light-filled midcentury was commissioned by Clarence Coe, a chemical engineer for Union Oil. Since its completion seven decades ago, the 2,018-square-foot home has seen just two owners. Now, it's back on the market, seeking $1,950,000.
Neatly tucked away on a verdant one-acre lot in the gated community of Rolling Hills, the Coe House was designed by Richard Neutra in 1950 for a local engineer. Only two owners have enjoyed the home throughout the last 70 years.
