"I've had brokers literally in tears when I show them this house," gushes William Baker, the home's sole broker (and a Porsche collector from Chicago), during the private tour. "This house is the Hope diamond. It's a Van Gogh." He pauses. "It's incomparable." How much of that is thanks to Julius Shulman's famous nighttime photo - the 1960 shot of two women in the glass-walled living room seemingly floating above a glittering Los Angeles, arguably the most famous architectural image ever snapped in L.A.? "A lot of it," Baker admits - though the real power move comes when he slides open the glass wall and steps onto a tiny concrete ledge "we never allow on tours." Below: the city draped across the bowl of the basin. Related Stories Lifestyle AI Made Her Rich. Now She Wants to Make Movies. General News Has the Black List Lost Its Mojo? No one's lived here for decades, but the Stahl family - who in 1959 hired architect Pierre Koenig to build the modernist glass box masterpiece on a cliffside plot thought to be unbuildable - has kept the place a pristine time capsule of midcentury aesthetic (with a little help from Design Within Reach). The primary bathroom - long off-limits to public tours - features a picture window framing the Hollywood Sign, while the primary bedroom has a nice spot for a vintage TV set. "The family watched the moon landing right there," Baker notes. The ideal buyer, Baker adds, would be a "custodian of the house" who keeps public access alive. Institutions like LACMA, MoMA, or the Getty fit that bill. Rambling, sadly, wasn't able to find $25 million under any of its sofa cushions so reluctantly won't be bidding. *** Also in Rambling Reporter: Rumors are swirling that Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes - fired from ABC for having an affair - were being considered for a comeback on CBS. According to reps for several performers, the Kennedy Center isn't showing them the money.
