A. Quincy Jones, Architect :: Nordlinger House #1, 1948. Resting on a slight knoll, this redwood sheathed home presents a powerful faade with its projections and cantilevered balconies. A glass-enclosed stairway greets one at the entry which leads immediately to Y-shaped open floor plan encompassing living, dining and family rooms all serviced by the kitchen at the intersection of the public spaces. A brick fireplace acts as the focal point in the living room with expansive glass beyond and access to the backyard with ample room for pool. Two family bedrooms and housekeeper's suite complete the first floor. The master suite commands the entire second floor with its wrap around balcony and distant city views. Three and a half baths, service room, two-car garage, large lot. An excellent restoration opportunity.
