One thing is certain about this modernist marvel in L.A.’s Studio City: There’s nothing else like it in the world.

The one-bedroom, two-bath home comes with an unwieldy moniker—”The Lois and Roger Kennedy Studio/Residence #3″—and it’s now available for the first time in over 30 years, for $1.9 million.

It’s the third of only three private residences Roger Kennedy designed—all for himself and his wife, Lois. Each one is considered “iconic … adding important new vocabularies to the language of modernist design,” according to listing agent Crosby Doe, owner of ArchitectureforSale.com.

Doe, who’s been selling architecturally significant properties for 45 years, actually lived in one of the three residences Kennedy designed.

“Living in one was a wonderful experience. It’s quite magical,” Doe says. “Everyday you wake up and feel like you’re in a special space.”

So what makes the home so special? “Every inch is given meticulous consideration,” Doe explains. “Kennedy has said that his designs are meant to last for 200 years.”

This 2,003-square-foot home features brick walls, open spaces, soaring ceilings, skylights, and large windows, all of which provide a surprisingly light and airy ambiance.

The home sits on a half-acre lot on a secluded hillside overlooking the San Fernando Valley. A private drive and hillside garden lead to the home.

It’s an inspiring space for architecture aficionados.

“We realize it’s very user-specific,” says Doe. “As with all remarkable properties of this nature, they’re not for everybody. But for the right person, they’ll probably never move.”
