1637 Highland AVE Glendale, CA 91202

In the heart of NW Glendale, just a few blocks from Kenneth Village and sprawling Brand Park, is this classic, tastefully updated single-story courtyard Spanish Revival contributor to the Ard Eevin Highlands Historic District. Featuring endless fine character details alongside rich modern conveniences, this home is quintessentially California. The front facade exhibits many Spanish style details such as a grand arched window, red tile roof, rounded tower, an arcaded front porch and through double arches, a sunny saltillo tiled courtyard with iron gates. The charm carries through to the home's lovely interior as well. The welcoming Foyer has the original magnesite floor and period lighting and steps down to the bright, spacious formal Living Room with its beautifully just-refinished original hardwood floors, soaring truss-beamed ceiling, entirely rebuilt fireplace with newer Batchelder-like tile facade and period inspired wall sconces. Across the Foyer is the elegant formal Dining Room with coved ceiling and wrought iron accents including a new Arte de Mexico chandelier. This room opens through double French doors to the front courtyard, great for cool evening al fresco dining. The Kitchen was opened up and renovated with granite counters, high-end stainless appliances, plentiful storage and has an attached east-facing Breakfast Nook in the round, perfectly placed for morning coffee. Adjacent to the Kitchen is a cozy Den with built-in shelving and a gas fireplace. A previous owner expanded the home adding a large Primary Suite and Gathering Space both of which open onto a fabulous elevated rear Patio. The present owner kicked it up a notch by adding recessed lighting, built-in surround sound speakers and hidden wiring to the Gathering Space. To the Primary Suite were added top-of-the-line closet organization and to the large Primary Bathroom, a spa tub and fresh period-inspired finish materials. There are 2 additional Bedrooms each with huge walk-in closets that share an updated full Bathroom with a dual sink vanity. Also, off the Kitchen is a convenient Service Porch and an additional updated 3/4 Powder Room. Not included in the stated square footage is an additional 312 SF lower level Flex Suite with brand new 3/4 Bath great for guests, home office or gym. Out back both the saltillo tiled rear patio and a second arcade overlook the lush Backyard which is shaded by a bountiful avocado tree and tropical plants. This dreamy property is truly exceptional!
