Description
Nestled in Glendale's endlessly photogenic and architecturally storied El Miradero neighborhood, this gloriously illuminated 1929 Spanish Colonial exquisitely blends vintage character with modern design that is timeless--where modern updates have been carefully chosen to complement the home's original character, creating a sense of enduring style that feels authentic to both the residence and its historic surroundings. Located within the highly coveted Glendale school district with sought after dual-language immersion magnet programs, this alluring Grande Dame is surrounded by striking 1920s homes and sits just one block from spectacular Brand Park--home to The Japanese Shoseian Teahouse and historic Brand Library. Upon entering, natural light floods this four-bedroom, three-bath residence, with sunlight glistening across freshly refinished original hardwood floors. In the living room, an oversized picture window frames the picturesque street while the marble flanked fireplace beckons guests to relax and linger. Stepping down from the living room is the captivating primary suite with soaring beamed and vaulted ceilings, its own fireplace, walk-in closet, and French doors that open to the patio and backyard. The spa-like primary bath impresses with a freestanding soaking tub within a generous shower, dual sinks, and custom cabinetry. Beyond the living room, the formal dining room features a bank of vintage windows that pour light into the space. The adjacent chef's kitchen is as functional as it is stunning, showcasing custom wood cabinetry, quartz counters, an enviable six-burner Viking gas range, pantry, and abundant storage. A door off the kitchen invites effortless al fresco dining and gathering on the deck. Tucked behind the kitchen are the laundry area, a second bedroom, currently used as an office, and a full guest bathroom. Upstairs, two oversized bedrooms offer views, generous closets and share a third bath. Storage throughout the home is exceptional, highlighted by a rare walk-out basement with nearly 600 square feet of usable space--ideal for a studio, workshop, or potential ADU while preserving the two-car detached garage. The backyard is a verdant oasis, a tranquil respite from the city, inviting moments of calm beneath mature trees with glorious canopies. Additional upgrades include an owned solar system, new sewer line, and a newer roof. Located in the most desirable part of El Miradero, tucked between Brand Park and just two blocks from the delightfully charming Kenneth Village shops, cafes and restaurants, this preeminent beauty on an idyllic, tree-lined street will ensure you'll never set eyes on another again.
