*P3a.  Description:  (Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries)
The house at 1620 Pegfair Estates Drive is sited at the center of the property and has a rectangular form, with an attached garage creating an overall "L" shape. The house has a flat roof with gabled vents and flared corners exhibiting Japanese influence. Walls are clad in stucco with visible structural and decorative wood framing with areas of wood tongue-and-groove siding. The street-facing elevation includes a floating balcony with a tall translucent glass railing with wood framing matching the house. Windows are integral with the framing pattern and appear to be aluminum sliding windows. 1620 Pegfair Estates Drive (The Wenzlaff Residence) (Photo 21) is a single story, L- plan single family Custom Ranch residence with strong Modernist and Asiatic design features. Street facing elevations are clad in an all-over wood grid set against stucco walls. The garage wing forms an “L” in plan that is set far back from the street. Within certain bays of the grid are rectangular window openings and louvered, jalousie windows. Clerestory windows are also present. Portions of this elevation are clad in vertical board cladding. The entry is centered within a bay that faces west. To the north side of it is a narrower second door clad in vertical board flush with the cladding that wraps around a nearby corner. This door features a centered multi-part grill of Asiatic design influence. The roof of the residence is flat. However, within it are pairs of sloping, peak gabled attic vents commonly seen upon Polynesian themed designs of the mid-twentieth century. The roof has extended boxed eaves that are underscored by a running wood fascia, which peaks upward that building’s corners. Two chimneys, each of stacked course Roman brick, are present upon this residence. Each chimney features a stylized metal cap. This residence has a lawn covered front yard with mature sycamore, liquidambar and other tree specimens. Small boulders are set within the front yard; an Asiatic themed landscape element. A translucent fiberglass fence with the same Asiatic inspired wood grid is also visible running against the street level. Constructed in 1962, 1620 Pegfair Estates Drive retains excellent integrity and is a contributor to the Pegfair Estates District.
