Up a quiet, winding road, perched under a canopy of roses and eucalyptus, an enchanting 1926 unicorn property, w/ a pulse and personality (and bonus guest house!), rests in the heart of desirable Adams Hill. WITH VIEWS. Oh my, the views. From every single window, mature landscaping and incredible vistas of Glendale, North East LA, and the Verdugos beyond. This property has been completely restored by artistic homeowners of 12 happy years, expertly marrying original features w/ modern systems and designer finishes. Main house is a bright and spacious 2 bedroom w/ 1 gorgeous bath featuring handmade cement tile, marble tile, and a heated towel rack, plus additional sunroom office or play room w/ shiplap, built-ins, and skylights. Not to mention a proper dining room w/ wine fridge, a mudroom, a breakfast balcony, and a large chef's kitchen w/ every conceivable bell and whistle. Think marble countertops. Think reclaimed barn wood. Think appliances by Wolf, Kitchenaid and LG. Think extras like a pot-filler, built in microwave, and a dedicated coffee station w/ hot water on demand. Think custom cabinetry that maximizes every square inch. But what's under the hood? Try an upgraded 200 amp electrical panel. Upgraded copper/ ABS plumbing. A 3 yr old roof. A newer sewer line. A retrofitted foundation. HVAC, smart irrigation, and tankless water heaters. Downstairs an incredibly breezy 1 bed/ 1 bath bonus unit w/ it's own entrance and it's own kitchen, extra high ceilings in the living room, plus a dedicated work and sleeping space. But could there possibly be interesting outdoor spaces? Oh my, the manicured outdoor venues abound. Butterflies, birdsong, and a trickling fountain out front, where friendly neighbors push strollers and walk dogs. Out back, enjoy total privacy to entertain around your brick gas fireplace, under the sweetest orange tree, twinkling lights and gorgeous sunsets. Fur and human babies enjoy their own terraced sections, including a custom Waldorf-esq wood pirate ship play structure and climbing wall. Bring all of your stuff, as there is an abundance of storage in both your garage and "hobby shop". Should you decide to leave this perfect compound, you're a stones throw to NELA hotspots like Dunsmoor, The Grant, Bub and Grandma's, and around the corner from beloved John Muir Elementary and vibrant Adams Square, w/ parks, playgrounds, splash pads, coffee shops, bakeries, kabobs, flowers, and more. A small town community but in the heart of Glendale, moments to everything North East La, Pasadena and DTLA. Come over. Come see!
