In 1964, illustrious architect Louis Naidorf\u2014best known for Hollywood\u2019s iconic Capitol Records Building\u2014designed this striking Vista de Oro home<\/a> as his personal residence.

The Freiler House<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/a>Joseph Cilic<\/a>\u00a0| Sotheby’s International Realty \u2013 Pacific Palisades Brokerage<\/a><\/i><\/i><\/p>\n
