Even if you’ve never seen it in person, you’ll undoubtedly recognize the Stahl House (Case Study House #22 for you modernist fanatics) and its twinkly vista. There’s barely more to it than a roof, floor-to-ceiling windows and a swimming pool, but the Hollywood Hills house emits that magic that so many of us have found—or spend our lives chasing—in Los Angeles.
The limited timed tours are pricey and popular (particularly the ones around sunset) and only offered on Wednesdays, Saturdays and two Fridays a month. Reservations become available (and are immediately snatched up) about three months in advance, so you’ll want to check the website for the latest reservation release info.
