Description
Sweeping ocean vistas enrich this rare surviving Mutual Housing Association mid-century original. Designed by A. Quincy Jones & Whitney Smith for the idealistic non-profit MHA, the most numerous examples in Brentwood's "Crestwood Hills" are of this popular 3-bedroom, 2 bath model. A 1958 addition makes for a 4th bedroom or a home office with a separate entry. Perfectly sited to capture unobstructed Pacific views, the residence retains much of its original 1951 finishes, comprising painted Douglas Fir plywood paneling and built-ins, natural tongue-and groove redwood walls and its exposed post-and-beam structural frame. The skill with which the outdoors is drawn inside via west-facing walls of plate glass and smoothly sliding original steel-frame doors is unmistakable. Outdoors, oriented towards the ocean are a grassy lawn, a concrete patio and a small second office. A multi-purpose studio shelters a laundry area and extensive storage. The former carport is now an ADU/5th bedroom with kitchenette (fully included in the lease offering). Two uncovered parking spaces are retained at the entry, now equipped with a level 2 electric-car charger. Crestwood Hills' dog-friendly park is close by. Note: the interior square footage includes the ADU but not the multi-purpose studio.
