About the building
THE NOWLING RESIDENCE
Perched atop a private, gated one-acre hilltop with commanding panoramic views, The Nowling Residence is a rare and important… example of Southern California Mid-Century Modern architecture. Designed in 1962 by acclaimed architect James E. De Long, a distinguished apprentice of Frank Lloyd Wright, the residence embodies Wright's timeless philosophy of organic architecture where nature, light, and living exist in perfect harmony.
Architecturally significant homes of this caliber seldom become available. Rich in history, craftsmanship, and provenance, The Nowling Residence is far more than a luxury residence it is a work of art and an enduring piece of California's architectural heritage.
Spanning nearly 3,000 square feet, the home was thoughtfully designed to blur the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. Expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls flood the interiors with natural light while framing spectacular vistas that stretch across sparkling city lights to the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island. As twilight settles over the hills, breathtaking sunsets give way to the enchanting spectacle of Disneyland's nightly fireworks, creating an unforgettable backdrop unlike any other.
Every detail reflects the architect's remarkable vision. Clean horizontal lines, custom built-ins, ingenious storage solutions, dramatic natural light, and carefully proportioned living spaces create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and effortlessly livable. The open floor plan flows seamlessly from one space to another, inviting both intimate everyday living and elegant entertaining.
Adding warmth and extraordinary craftsmanship throughout the residence are rich redwood and mahogany, imported from Indonesia, whose natural beauty has gracefully endured for decades. These exceptional materials contribute depth, texture, and timeless character while honoring the home's original architectural integrity.
Thoughtfully updated for modern living while respecting its architectural heritage, the kitchen features elegant quartz countertops, premium appliances, a sleek glass cooktop, and a charming built-in banquette dining area that complements the home's original design language.
Enhancing both comfort and efficiency, the property is also equipped with 21 installed solar panels, providing substantial on-site solar energy generation and helping to keep electricity costs remarkably low. This thoughtful modern upgrade brings energy efficiency to the residence while preserving the timeless character and architectural integrity of the home.
Outside, the private estate offers a peaceful sanctuary surrounded by mature landscaping, expansive terraces, and multiple outdoor living areas designed to embrace Southern California's celebrated year-round indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Every vantage point celebrates the surrounding landscape while preserving exceptional privacy and serenity.
The historical importance of The Nowling Residence extends beyond its remarkable design. Original architectural drawings and archival materials by James E. De Long are preserved within the Architecture and Design Collections at the University of California, Santa Barbara, reflecting the enduring significance of his work. The residence was also featured in the Los Angeles Times Home Magazine in 1967, further recognizing its architectural distinction.
For collectors and admirers of significant architecture, opportunities like this are exceptionally rare. Homes designed by Frank Lloyd Wright apprentices seldom reach the open market, particularly examples that have been so thoughtfully preserved while respectfully updated for contemporary living.
The Nowling Residence represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to experience an architectural landmark one that seamlessly combines historical significance, timeless design, exceptional craftsmanship, modern efficiency, and one of the most breathtaking view settings in Southern California.
A home to live in.
A legacy to preserve.
A masterpiece to call home.
