It seems like there might be trouble on the horizon for Richard Neutra’s Chuey House in the Hollywood Hills.

The Sunset Plaza Drive property hit the MLS yesterday, but ominously, the listing includes nary a word of reference to the much-admired midcentury modern. Instead, the property is described as “a truly unique development opportunity” that’s “ideal for a compound.”

The listing that surfaced [on 24th August] is conspicuously lacking in photos of the house, but a different one (perhaps a previous pocket listing) that showcases it from the outside can still be found online. Vintage interior shots can be viewed at the Getty’s Julius Shulman archive.

Located on a 1.5-acre lot, the property is seeking $10.5 million.
