Description

Welcome to this quaint home located on a Cul de sac in Glendale. There is a secluded path in the front yard where one can set a table with chairs, relax and listen to the birds and enjoy morning tea. A bird bath, a rain chain, a cute dragon topiary with a bed of rocks forming a river is all a part of the ambiance in the front yard. As you enter this lovely home, you will instantly feel its warmth and character. Built in bookcase made of honey oak flanks the brick fireplace: a peak in its design echoes the peak in the entry to the dining room and in the kitchen design. Original oak flooring in the home has been lovingly maintained. The Kitchen has natural light along with beautiful granite countertops, a shelf above the sink and recessed lighting. Knotty pine shelving and a pantry with pull out shelves. A dual dishwasher by Fisher & Paykel allows you to do small or larger loads. There is a bar with lighting separating the dining room from a smaller room which could be used for meditation, yoga, or stargazing. Having 3 Bedrooms, one is a convertible den, the smaller of the three, with a built-in dresser and a private half bath. The main bathroom has a remodeled, with a step-in shower, shower bench and dazzling tile. The decorative, authentic Mexican tile, laid by craftsman who knew how to tell a story, strategically placed each of the tiles. The shower flooring is of marble as is the vanity sink. The primary bedroom has wonderful views to the west, looking out to the sunset and city lights at night. French doors from the dining room open to the spacious deck which boasts 180-degree views. The decking is made of teak and laid in a manner that allows rain water to evaporate. Teak is used in roof top decks to withstand the weather. You can sit outside with retractable awnings during the day or night, turn on the dimmable track lights or just enjoy the views of the city, tree tops or hills, including a portion of Griffith Park. A great space to entertain or relax. There are several Oak trees, 3 orange trees, a Sapote tree and a non-producing Avocado Tree. A drip system has been installed on the entire property. A 1-bedroom apartment on the lower level has a full kitchen, spacious Living room, sliding doors leading to a wraparound porch with fantastic views. It has a private entrance on the north and south sides of the home. Continuing down past the lower unit, you will find an expansive lower garden with tremendous potential.
