Nestled in Glendale’s endlessly photogenic and architecturally storied El Miradero neighborhood, this quietly striking 1929 beauty blends vintage character with timeless modern design. Updates have been carefully chosen to complement the home’s original heritage, creating a sense of enduring style throughout. Located within the highly coveted Glendale school district, known for its sought after dual-language immersion magnet programs, this vintage beauty sits just one block from spectacular Brand Park and Library, the Japanese Teahouse, and indelibly charming Kenneth Village. Upon entering, you’re taken by the immediate warmth of natural light filling this 4 bedroom, 3 bath home, illuminating the freshly refinished original hardwood floors. In the living room, an oversized picture window frames the picturesque street while the fireplace beckons guests to stay and linger. Past the living room, the formal dining room features a bank of windows that pours light into the space. The adjacent chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is stunning, with custom wood cabinetry, quartz counters, an enviable six-burner Viking gas range, a pantry, and abundant storage. A door off the kitchen invites effortless al fresco dining and gathering on the deck. Tucked by the kitchen are the laundry area, a bedroom and a full guest bathroom. Just beyond the living room is the captivating primary suite. A true retreat, it features a soaring beamed and vaulted ceiling, a second fireplace, walk-in closet and French doors that open to the patio and backyard. The spa-like primary bath offers a freestanding soaking tub set within a generous shower, dual sinks, and custom cabinetry. Upstairs, two generously-sized bedrooms offer sunlit views, spacious closets, and a third bath. Storage throughout the home is exceptional, highlighted by a rare walk-out basement with nearly 400 square feet of usable space, ideal for a studio or workshop. The backyard is a tranquil respite from the city, inviting moments of calm beneath multiple mature trees with glorious canopies. Additional upgrades include an owned solar system, a new sewer line, a newer roof, and a detached 2-car garage with a long gated driveway for additional parking. Located in the most desirable pocket of El Miradero, tucked between Brand Park and just two blocks from the shops, restaurants, and cafes of Kenneth Village, this preeminent beauty rests within a neighborhood where homes are often held and loved for generations–a home and neighborhood so special, it may ensure you never set eyes on another quite like it again.
