1625 Oakengate Drive

Very few homes in Glendale have truly stunning city views, and even fewer are matched with a custom built one story authentic mid-century with four bedrooms and four baths taking full advantage of the startling view. No wonder this family have held on to this rare property since 1973. Here they lived out joyfully their gift of hospitality. Likely you were once a recipient of their generosity as literally thousands of others have been. The covered walk-way from the garage to the front double doors welcome you inside. The large formal entry has the terrazzo flooring that is spot on to its mid-century pedigree. The formal living and dining rooms are glorious with rich wood flooring, large windows, and a gorgeous fireplace. Yet, it is the family rooms, yes plural, that drink in the views with floor to ceiling windows in a great entertaining space with its own fireplace, wet bar, and a wraparound credenza with built in wine fridge. It does take a large kitchen for a home such as this, and the lifelong designer/owner did it elegantly with ample custom cabinetry, quarts counters, and high-end appliances. There is also a home office and guest suite on this west wing. The east wing has three large bedrooms and the other three baths. The primary suite enjoys an oversized primary bedroom with views, walk-in closet, and its own tastefully updated primary bath. Then there is the dramatic rear yard with the recently refurbished pool and spa, with a large deck and even a tiki hut – all enjoying the sparkling view of downtown. The front yard enjoys mature landscaping, as well as a large two car garage with additional storage as well. Just a few of the features include: two off street parking areas, a newer roof, updated copper plumbing, central air and heating, and the joy of original architecture done well.
