Property Description
Calling all nature lovers and historic home aficionados - this eclectic, character-rich 1936 Traditional in Glendale's historic Montecito Park is a delight. Sited back from the sidewalk behind a handsome native garden, and complemented by views of the foothills in the background, this home whispers in a palette of earthy tones that echo its surroundings. A welcoming brick path with its unique navette-shaped center planter draws visitors in, past blooming Saint Catherine's lace to the home's covered front porch, flanked by original wrought iron lattice decorative grilles. Inside, gleaming white oak hardwood floors flow from the entry into a generous living room with decorative fireplace and beamed ceiling. Natural light flows through all spaces here, streaming in through large windows in the living room, formal dining room and kitchen. With its sage green cabinetry, custom-tiled countertops, backsplash and checkerboard floors juxtaposed with stainless steel appliances and accents, the kitchen strikes a perfect retro-modern balance. A sunny laundry room with pantry storage and 3/4 bath just off the kitchen are convenient, and benefit from a side door direct to the driveway...don't miss the tiny milk delivery door, a fun reminder of decades gone by. Three comfortable bedrooms on the west side of the home, one currently used as a den, enjoy flora-filled views of the backyard garden, and access to a second, artfully renovated bath with handsome plaster walls, walk-in shower and custom tile floor. Outside, find spaces to unwind and entertain in the shade in the covered brick patio, or meander in the native garden amongst the Monarchs and Western Bluebirds (they've made their home in this haven four years running!). Finally, behind the finished, conditioned two-car garage, find a large permitted creative bonus space - an additional 455 SF offering a multitude of uses. Ideal for a home office or studio, this would be a dream workspace...with the sliding doors open to the garden, birdsong and scent of sage in the air. Adjacent to all of the charming neighborhood restaurants (Mole at La Cabanita!), parks, wonderful schools and community in the area, plus easy access to freeways and shopping, this home embodies casual elegance and indoor-outdoor lifestyle in one of Glendale's best pockets.
