More Open Houses: Orson Welles Slept Here
Monday, April 24, 2006, by Marissa Gluck

2006_04_strathmore.jpg

If all this non-stop Gehry talk has worn you down, never fear. We're going old school again, with news of two more open houses by those austrian ex-roomie imports who hated each other, Schindler and Neutra (deathbed reconciliation aside). Tomorrow and Sunday, both Neutra's Strathmore Apartments and Schindler DeKeyser are having open houses - will their rivalry never end? We already covered DeKeyser's amenities last week,so let's focus on the Strathmore - which isn't the entire building but simply one condo in the building for sale, for $795,000. Like most Neutras, lots of light, lots of windows but who really cares about that? More importantly, famous people lived there. Specifically, Orson Welles, Charles and Ray Eames and Case Study patron, John Entenza. So impressive architectural pedigree, with a little bit of old Hollywood glamour (if you can consider Welles glamorous. All 350 pounds of him).

11007 Strathmore is for sale!

I'm the owner(and a real estate agent too,incidentally)

Almost like a freestanding house,connected to it's neighbor by only half a wall(beneath wall to wall windows...) this aprox 730 sq ft 1 bed condo,1 of 4 in the complex, was converted to a condominium in late '05.

New roof,move-in condition,landscape architect improvements commencing,views,deck,private garage,low $194 dues, and a great community of architecture loving neighbors, make this a good deal at the listing price of $599,000.

Where else can one now get a Neutra anywhere in Southern CA (let alone 15mins from the beach) for under a million.....?

Yes - the 4 unit complex did sell several years ago for aprox 1.2 mil as you say, yet that was a lifetime away(in reference to the changes in the market here)...it was sold as a fourplex, and only recently was converted to condos.
