Set in a prime Cheviot Hills location on a large flat lot, The Reicher House (1956) by A. Quincy Jones, FAIA, is a gorgeous mid-century marvel. The volume in this modernist masterpiece is awe-inspiring.


Walls of glass flood the home with natural light while the lush landscaping and pool draw your attention outside for indoor/outdoor living, hallmarks of A. Quincy Jones and the Southern California lifestyle. The skylights of this home are ideally located. One is set above the living room fireplace, while the covered patio features multiple skylights and open-air cut-outs allowing light to pierce through and create an artistic effect.


The kitchen is sizable with plenty of storage and workspace for modern day living, yet it abounds with original character, including a built-in cutting board, Formica counters, pocketed privacy panel and clerestory windows. Looking back towards the kitchen from the living room, it appears to be a framed piece of art. The dining room is both sizable and gorgeous. There are four bedrooms total, with three connected by a hallway on the West side of the house and the other is privately located on the East side along with its ensuite bath.


The primary bedroom has stunning windows with custom shutters, two closets and an ensuite bathroom. Multiple bathrooms can be accessed from the backyard making ideal changing rooms for a swim. Design details include unique fibrous textured walls, walnut wood storage, Palos Verdes stone accents and jalousie windows. A breakfast room and two-car garage complete the home. Ideal floor plan without a single stair inside.


This is a tremendous opportunity to update a true architectural gem that has never been on the market before.
