First time on the market in fifty years! Welcome home. Nestled on a quiet street in Montecito Park, one of Glendale's most coveted neighborhoods, this lovingly maintained 1931 gem is a rare find. Offered for the first time in half a century, the home's original character shines throughout, from gleaming hardwood floors, custom cabinetry and intricate crown molding while thoughtful updates, including newer windows and doors, ensure effortless modern living. A west-facing front porch invites you to linger in the afternoon light with peaceful glimpses of the Verdugo Mountains. Step inside to a gracious living room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace, French doors, and a built-in window seat with shelving. The formal dining room flows naturally into a separate eat-in kitchen appointed with ample storage and all-new appliances, plus a convenient laundry closet with a stackable washer and dryer. A sun-filled breakfast room, complete with its own wood-burning fireplace and charming built-in firewood bin, offers the perfect morning retreat. A discreet pair of sliding doors reveals a home office with a closet, easily used as a third bedroom. Down a generous hallway lined with coat and linen closets, a well-sized guest bedroom features its own large closet, while the hall bathroom delights with original tile work and a separate tub and shower. The primary bedroom is a secluded sanctuary, with ample closet space and an ensuite shower bath. French doors open directly to a beautifully landscaped garden with a bubbling fountain, where a covered dining patio with a stone fireplace transforms the outdoors into a seamless extension of the home. A permitted, climate-controlled guest house with a three-quarter bath and generous closet space offers flexible options for guests, a home studio, or additional income. Completing the property are a potting or work room, California basement, and a covered two-car carport with a private driveway.All of this just moments from Montrose Community Park, Oakmont Country Club, Descanso Gardens, shopping on Honolulu and the neighborhood's beloved dining scene including Berolina Bakery, La Cabanita, John Sparr Tavern, and Backbone.
