Experience the timeless glamour and modern luxury of this majestic Spanish Mediterranean. The 1930s masterpiece serves as a magnificent tribute to Glendale's rich, architectural history. Private, gated, and set back from the road, the home features breathtaking, unobstructed views of Downtown Glendale and the Los Angeles Skyline from almost every room. Architectural highlights include coffered ceilings, custom wrought iron details, terracotta flooring, vibrant period tile, and Spanish archways. Step into the grand living room with rich hardwood floors, stenciled wood-beamed ceilings and a striking fireplace. The dining room flows effortlessly to a gourmet kitchen with marble countertops, high-end stainless appliances, and a breakfast area bathed in natural light. The main level also offers both a home office and a den. Upstairs, escape to a luxurious primary suite featuring both a private patio and a rear courtyard with a fountain. Two additional, oversized bedroom suites with views and a full bathroom complete the second floor. Outside, multiple view decks, a dining terrace and garden for entertaining and year-round enjoyment. This is a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most spectacular view homes in Glendale. Truly, a must see!
