Malcolm Nichols Residence by Robert Bowlus (1973-74) - Mission Hills

When architect Robert Bowlus designed a home for local painter Malcolm Nichols, in 1979, the site they selected engaged the canyon setting just a few blocks north of the center of Mission Hills.

Straddling six small urban lots, the 2,730 sq. ft. 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom residence engages its urban setting with a private court at the entry as well as its canyon setting with walls of north-facing glass (ideal for painting year round).

With significant side- and rear yards shaded by a grove of trees, the property engages the natural landscape, sun and cool breezes that flow effortlessly throughout. The enclosed porch and painting studio offer significant square footage opportunities for the next owner (not to mention storage availability below the house.

Recognized easily by its neighbors for its cedar shingle siding, the Nichols Residence exemplifies Late Century modern architecture promoted by shelter magazines like Sunset and iconic projects like Sea Ranch in Northern California.

Exclusively represented by Keith York at Agents of Architecture, this property is currently offered for $2.5M
