FIRST TIME ON THE MARKET IN 55 YEARS! Rooted in the rich architectural legacy of Glendale's historic North Cumberland Heights neighborhood, this beautifully preserved 1926 Spanish Colonial Revival residence is a timeless expression of Southern California's golden era of design. Originally developed from the grand estates of Leslie Brand and the Campbell family, North Cumberland Heights remains one of Glendale's most cherished residential enclaves, celebrated for its winding streets, mature landscapes, and remarkable collection of Period Revival homes. Lovingly maintained for more than five decades, 1007 Matilija Rd has retained much of its original architectural integrity. Original hardwood floors, graceful arched openings, period detailing, and abundant natural light define the home's generously proportioned interiors. Designed for both elegant entertaining and comfortable everyday living, the main level flows seamlessly from the formal living and dining rooms into an oversized kitchen complete with a designated pantry and adjacent mudroom. Anchoring the formal living room, the original plaster fireplace remains the architectural centerpiece of the home, reflecting the timeless craftsmanship of its Spanish Colonial Revival design. Upstairs, three spacious bedrooms provide peaceful retreats, two of which enjoy elevated views stretching across Glendale toward the Santa Monica Mountains. Complementing the main residence, a detached upper-level guest retreat with a full bath and wet bar offers exceptional flexibility as a guest suite, private office, or creative workspace. Outdoors, the lush grounds feature a collection of mature fruit trees, including orange, grapefruit, lemon, apple, and avocado, creating a private orchard where seasonal harvests become part of everyday life. Just moments away, Brand Park offers scenic hiking trails, Japanese gardens, and the iconic Brand Library & Art Center, while nearby Kenneth Village provides charming cafes, boutique shops, and specialty markets. More than simply a residence, this is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of one of North Cumberland Heights' enduring architectural treasures. TRUST SALE, NO COURT CONFIRMATION NEEDED.
