Newly listed in the MLS is this Glendale, R.M. Schindler  4 + 4 residence. The Rodriguez House encompasses nearly 2400 square on 1/3 acre with pool.  Asking price is $2,475,000. The MLS marketing remarks read:

“In 1941, R.M. Schindler was hired to build a home for writer/composer Jose Rodriguez and his growing family on a spectacular double lot in Verdugo Woodlands. He envisioned a home in which the gardens would sweep up, around and through the house, ingeniously accomplished by a floating bedroom wing built to span the sun and shade gardens. The home served as a glittering backdrop for cocktail parties for Rodriguez family and friends Igor Stravinsky, Salvador Dali, and Ansel Adams. This masterpiece, one of the best preserved examples of Schindler's work, has been meticulously preserved & sensitively upgraded with the finest materials. The home's eight ceiling heights, clerestory windows, complex geometries, and two modernist fireplaces make it as eminently livable now as it was in 1941. The Rodriguez House is a Glendale City Landmark, as well as having a Mills Act status, with annual property taxes of approximately $3,500.? In 1941, R.M.
