James De Long, A.I.A.
The Nowling Residence
540 Reposado , LA HABRA HEIGHTS, CA
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.
