The Bryce Residence 1950 - Chalfont Head, Architect. Published in Better Homes and Gardens March,1953. At the end of a private road, a long gravel drive and ample motor court deliver you to a perch above the charming hamlet of Fillmore, well sited for maximum privacy and oriented west, the property captures majestic unobstructed views of mountain ranges and the Heritage Valley. A rare and refined early example of California Modernism retains the architect's vision, with Head designing a flowing open plan for living spaces, and a separate bedroom wing, with abundant glass walls under broad eaves opening to a flat lawn, pool and generous terraces for outdoor dining and poolside lounging. Extensive well preserved custom millwork, built-ins, original bathroom tile and fixtures throughout. The main house consists of a primary ensuite and a guest bedroom and bath. A later separate permitted guest house adjacent to the pool and designed by the architect, features a bedroom, full bath and dressing room and is reached via a covered breezeway. Additional artist studio/office is connected to the attached carport.
