The Demolished Gene Fields House by Richard Neutra in Encino Hits the Market

4341 Lanai Road
This address was the location for the former Gene Fields House by renowned architect Richard Neutra who has designed many other architecturally significant homes in the SFV. I am not sure of the exact history of this home but at one point the owner (maybe current owner) demolished the Neutra designed home to make way for a new modern home shown in the pictures below. I am not sure exactly why I am posting this other than to say the site of the former Neutra home is currently on the market in the hopes (wishful thinking) that maybe somebody reverses the damage here and demolishes this house to remake the Fields home. However, there are no pictures available of the Fields home so I dont even know what it would look like.

5 Beds/5 Baths on 4,117 sqft on a total lot size of 0.62 acres built in 1957 in Encino. This home was listed for $1,790,000 on June 26, 2013. The purchase date and price is unknown but judging by property taxes appears to possibly be in the 70's.
