The Royer House, 1951, Mutual Housing Association Model 111X, plus additions. Of the 40-plus surviving original homes designed by Whitney Smith & A. Quincy Jones for the idealistic non-profit MHA, the most numerous examples in Crestwood Hills are of this popular 3-bedroom, 2 bath model. Here the Royer family added a permitted addition towards the street-side in 1958. Today this is a 4th bedroom or second home office with a separate entry, accessed inside via a laundry area with 3/4 bath. Perfectly sited to capture unobstructed Pacific vistas, the Royer House retains much of its original 1951 finishes, comprising painted plywood paneling and built-ins, natural redwood plank 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. Outside, a grassy lawn, concrete patios and small separate office are complemented by a multi-purpose studio between the house proper and the former garage, now an ADU. 2-car uncovered parking at the entry. Original MHA/Crestwood park is close by. ADU offered separately; available immediately. Note: Square footage includes the ADU but not the partly enclosed work studio. MLS# 25546315
