These designs are from a Northcrest booklet offered to potential purchasers in the late 50's early 60's by P&H Realty.

The intitial offering provided at least six designs (two traditional and four MCM) on 300 wooded lots. The available designs expanded to include additional styles such as A-Frames and unique houses through three additional phases.

 P&H Phase 1 Style 4

This design is one of four multi-level Modern concepts provided by the builder during the first Northcrest building phase. As with most of the MCM floor plans, the house is divided into left-right halves, with stacked rooms on either the left or right and living/dining/kitchen on the opposite half. This design features a split gable, low elevation roof - sliding glass doors open from one or both upstairs bedrooms to open onto a deck, which forms the carport roof. This style may have clerestory windows or at least windows that extend to the roofline above the sliding glass doors. Interior features are similar to those covered in Phase 1 Style 1. All that being said, I have only found one example of this particular style in my neighborhood.

Examining the illustration, one can see that the upper floor has an exterior sliding glass door from the end bedroom, and railing to use the carport roof as a deck. I believe that this design was unpopular and ultimately abandoned for a more functional design - one that features two sliding glass doors opening from bedrooms to the carport roof/deck (I'm calling that style Phase 1 Style 7 - even though I don't have an example from the Northcrest brochure-copy that I possess).

This style is on the low end according to the booklet with an unadjusted sales price of $21,850 ((the high-end was a Mid Century Modern listed for $24,600 - style 6 - and the low-end a contemporary at $19,750 - style 3).
