THE NOWLING RESIDENCE | An Architectural Legacy Perched atop a private, gated one-acre hilltop with commanding panoramic views, The Nowling Residence is a rare example of Southern California Mid-Century Modern architecture. Designed in 1962 by acclaimed architect James E. De Long, an apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, the residence reflects Wright's philosophy of organic architecture—where nature, light, and living exist in harmony. Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet, this architectural treasure seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor living. Dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass frames breathtaking views of the golf course, sparkling city lights, Pacific Ocean, and Catalina Island. As evening falls, spectacular sunsets give way to Disneyland fireworks, creating an unforgettable backdrop. Every detail reflects the architect's vision. Clean horizontal lines, custom built-ins, innovative storage, and an open floor plan create a sophisticated yet inviting atmosphere. Rich Indonesian redwood and mahogany throughout add warmth, exceptional craftsmanship, and timeless character. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its architectural integrity, the kitchen features quartz countertops, premium appliances, a sleek glass cooktop, and a charming built-in banquette. Twenty-one fully owned solar panels provide modern energy efficiency. Beyond the interiors, this private sanctuary offers a spacious swimming pool, mature landscaping, expansive terraces, and multiple outdoor living areas. A gated circular driveway provides ample parking, including RV space, while the hilltop setting offers exceptional privacy and tranquility. The residence's architectural significance is further distinguished by its historical documentation. Original drawings and archival materials associated with James E. De Long are preserved at UC Santa Barbara, and The Nowling Residence was featured in Los Angeles Times Home Magazine in 1967. For collectors and admirers of significant architecture, this is a rare opportunity to own a remarkable piece of California's architectural heritage—combining historical significance, timeless design, extraordinary craftsmanship, and breathtaking panoramic views. A home to live in. A legacy to preserve. A masterpiece to call home.
