1624 Santa BarbaraGlendale, CA 91208

Santa Barbara is a unique avenue of annual block parties and kids actually playing on their front lawns in the shade of mature trees. These Owners have loved living here for over 40 years. In that time that have preserved the original character while transforming it to this elegant one-story estate of almost 3,000 sf.

The formal entry opens to a beautiful formal living room with rich wood flooring, original double hung windows, and a warm fireplace. The dining room seats a rather large party for formal entertaining. The kitchen has been tastefully remodeled and expanded with more wood flooring, custom cabinetry, dark quarts counters, high end appliances and a large breakfast room. Of course, this culinary hub of the house opens to the family room with its own fireplace, custom built-ins, and glass doors that open to the rear grounds.

The primary suite is its own wing with a huge bedroom with an antique marble fireplace mantel, a true walk-in closet, and a glorious bath with dual sinks, separate stall shower, and a soaking tub. The west wing has two more large bedrooms, two gorgeous remodeled baths, and perhaps the best home office I have ever seen with a high ceiling, custom cabinets, and a wall of glass that opens out to the private paradise yard with a spectacular pool and spa. This room was also designed to be a fourth bedroom with its own ingress. This is a rare home that offers more features than I can list, but just a few include a newer roof with solar panels, updated copper plumbing, updated electrical panel, central air and heating, and a two-car attached garage.
