Perched within the hills of the coveted Verdugo Woodlands neighborhood of Glendale is this exquisitely remodeled mid-century sanctuary. Step into an inviting open floor plan flooded with natural light and boasting breathtaking hillside views that instantly make you feel at home. The living area is adorned with an eclectic mix of playful wallpaper, elegant hardwood floors, and a stunning stone peninsula fireplace, creating a perfect blend of style and comfort. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully remodeled in 2022 by architect Susan Nwankpa with the goal of providing "a serene oasis of calm and a palette of earth tones to create a warm atmosphere. " The chic gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring a custom island, high-end Bertazzoni stove, and a natural terracotta tile backsplash to complement the gorgeous earthy green cabinetry. The primary suite is a true retreat, offering picturesque views of the pool, mountains, and sunset through pine sliding doors. The ensuite bathroom is a masterpiece of tranquility with earth-toned accents, a travertine slab sink, rift cut white oak cabinetry, and a custom green zellige tile mirror framed by vintage gold sconces to add a touch of elegance. The hall bathroom is equally impressive, boasting a custom pattern of handmade dusty pink colored concrete tiles and Moroccan-made zellige terracotta tile, creating a dramatic yet harmonious ambiance. Outside, the beauty of the home continues with a serene pool and spa surrounded by lush landscaping, offering unobstructed mountain views and front-row seats to California sunsets. While conveniently located near a myriad of amenities including hiking trails, shopping centers, freeways, restaurants, and schools, once you step foot inside this remarkable Glendale retreat, you are instantly transported to a secluded oasis, far removed from the hustle and bustle of daily life. Don't miss the opportunity to call this exceptional property your home.
