| Transcript | A Home Delightfully Different ERV1N BOESSLING A contemporary home designed for complete privacy and flexibility of living arrangement — that's the parade model at 5130 Jackwood. Privacy from the outside is obtained by use of clerestory windows and privacy inside through an entrance way which penetrates deep into the house. One can enter every section through this hall. The living area offers unusual design flexibility with living room, dining area, den, family room, and kitchen flowing together in an open space arrangement. A partition separates the living room and family room, creating a nook area designed as a den with paneled bookcases and a cork floor. A folding wall can make this section completely private. The kitchen is partitioned off by a serving bar which can be used to serve the family room and terrace also. It is equipped with Westinghouse built-ins, including oven and range, disposer, dishwasher, refrigerator and deep freeze. In the bedroom wing of the house, the entrance corridor leads into all bedrooms and one bath, which can thus be used as a guest bath. The master bedroom has its own bath and also opens onto the terrace. The exterior of the home is of light used brick with stained redwood. It has a high front gable of fixed glass decorated with a pattern of grillwork. The entrance side of the home has a large overhang under which two cars can park. This is another Christiansen and Cannata model built by Kuehn and Boessling of B-K Builders, Inc. It is furnished by Ridgecrest. landscape Design by James E.
