Resource Description:
1605 Pegfair Estates Drive (Photo 14) is an irregular, rectangular plan, single story Custom Ranch house done in the Contemporary Ranch style with a low pitched hipped roof clad in asphalt shake. A portion of the front elevation is clad in stucco, which is barely visible behind the berm that is the front yard, and the various plants growing upon it. The eastern bay of the front elevation is made of running course slumpstone, which continues upward to form the rectangular chimney made of the same material. At one corner end of the front elevation is a large full-height picture window, which, along with another picture window around the corner, forms an open corner. The western portion of the front elevation features a drive through porte-cochere, which leads to a garage behind the residence. The centered entry is recessed behind extended eaves and full length sidelights are present at either side of it. A continuous ribbon of square windows is present at the front elevation. The house is recessed on its property, has a mowed lawn and an ivy colored berm at the front portion of the property. A low, flat square planter made of tumbled pebbles is present near the concrete driveway, and this same material is used to make the walkway leading up to the front entry. The entry itself is of two black painted doors with bronze hardware, including bronze rose plates. A mature birch tree specimen is located at the eastern portion of the front yard. Constructed in 1966, 1605 Pegfair Estates Drive retains excellent integrity and is a contributor to the Pegfair Estates District.
