The cedar shingle siding of the Malcolm Nichols Residence, by architect Robert Bowlus, connects California's late 20th-century modernism (as popularized by Sunset Magazine) to longstanding Cape Cod style. Recently featured in Dwell, the property encompasses 6-contiguous parcels totaling 15,000 sq ft adjacent to canyon open space. The property offers significant development opportunities beyond just updating and enjoying the property in its current format. Situated in a perfect Mission Hills location, walking distance to a number of restaurants (Fort Oak, La Puerta, Farmer's Bottega, etc.), coffee shops, and grocery stores..
