Here's another Julius Shulman photoset of a private house which caught my eye. It's
"Job 4381: Dr. Iwata House (Monterey Park, Calif.), 1968". This is the only color shot. I've left out two similar ones in black & white.
This is the view looking up the hill from the back. It looks like the central part of the structure houses the stairs.
These walkways lead across from behind the garage/pool area.
There's only this single interior shot.

The house can be found at 912 Summit Place, Monterey Park.
An article at la.curbed says that it came onto the market for the first time in 2014. From the article:
This incredible house, sited on a 1.6-acre hilltop lot in Monterey Park, was designed by architect Pierre Koenig, who's most famous for his Case Study Houses Nos. 21 (aka the Bailey House) and 22 (aka the iconic Stahl House). His Iwata House was built in 1963 for a Dr. and Mrs. Iwata and never once changed hands over the years. The house is spread out over nearly 5,000 square feet and was originally built with six bedrooms that were later converted to four larger rooms; "Can be put back easily," assures the listing. The immense kitchen, like the rest of the interior, has been remodeled, and now includes two islands and fancy appliances. Outside, there's a saltwater pool and a barbecue/entertainment nook. The asking price is $1.888 million.
There are plenty of recent color photos in the article, including a couple of that fancy kitchen with two islands. The property websites all give a build date of 1967. They also say that the house only sold for $1,650,000 in 2014, and is now worth just under $2 million.

I missed HossC's post that seemed to make the same observation, i.e., there could have been confusion between two similar sounding confectioners.
