The Roxy Roth House by R. M. Schindler
A house that refuses to behave like a house. Designed in 1946 by R. M. Schindler for screenwriter and actor Roxy Roth, this Studio City gem feels closer to inhabiting a piece of art than a regular house. Placed at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, it offers privacy, views, and a sense of creative freedom.

Inside
Schindler famously designed “as if there had never been houses before,” and you feel that immediately. Light enters from three directions, planes shift subtly, and rooms offer intention over symmetry. The main living and dining space centers around a massive picture window framing sweeping San Fernando Valley views. Original Schindler built-ins line the space: alcoves, hidden storage, and details that feel both clever and deeply human. The primary suite leans whimsical, with a folding screen that opens your sightline through the home, toward the horizon. A generous first-floor bedroom anchors the entry level, while every en-suite bath feels thoughtfully integrated rather than added on.
Outside
Native landscaping gives the property a sense of calm and privacy. Above the house, a hillside fire pit and seating area offers sunset views. And just off the main residence is a standout bonus: a roughly 400-square-foot studio, originally a carport and later transformed by Barbara Bestor. Lined with windows, it’s an ideal writing studio, art space, or work-from-home retreat.
The O' Factor
This one’s for the people who don’t want what everyone else has. A true Schindler. Cool, funky, and completely singular. You just don’t see houses like this. We love Studio City south of the boulevard – it’s both peaceful and right in the mix. Unusual in the best way. Exactly our type.
