Perched atop a private, gated one-acre hilltop, 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, this nearly 3,000-square-foot residence reflects the principles of organic architecture through its integration of nature, light, and living space. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame panoramic views extending across city lights to the Pacific Ocean and Catalina Island, with spectacular sunsets and views of Disneyland’s nightly fireworks. Clean horizontal lines, custom built-ins, ingenious storage, an open floor plan, and rich redwood and Indonesian mahogany preserve the home’s distinctive architectural character. Thoughtful updates complement the original design, including a kitchen with quartz countertops, premium appliances, a glass cooktop, and built-in banquette dining. Twenty-one installed solar panels provide substantial on-site energy generation and help reduce electricity costs. Mature landscaping, expansive terraces, and multiple outdoor living areas create a private setting ideal for Southern California indoor-outdoor living. The home’s architectural significance is supported by original James E. De Long drawings and archival materials preserved in UC Santa Barbara’s Architecture and Design Collection. The residence was also featured in the Los Angeles Times Home Magazine in 1967. A rare opportunity to lease a thoughtfully preserved architectural residence combining historic significance, timeless design, modern efficiency, privacy, and extraordinary views. Private showings are available by appointment only. Prospective tenants may be asked to complete pre-qualification before scheduling. Applicants are subject to standard rental requirements, including credit, income and/or financial-resource verification, rental history, and other applicable screening criteria. No walk-ins or unscheduled visits.
