The House Tour
Striking custom glass doors welcome you to a courtyard screened by a mature row of ficus. The single-story layout opens to hardwood floors at your feet and over 12′ high ceilings throughout the public spaces, with a continuous interconnectedness with the outdoors.
In the living room, an eye-catching redbrick fireplace with skylights, along with clerestory windows and large sliding glass doors, frame the yard, which features a turquoise pool with a hot tub and views beyond. From here, you look onto the dining area, where an office area is defined by tall sliding glass.
A renovated, galley-style kitchen with a Bertazzoni wall and convection oven sits at the center, with corner windows framing the courtyard as nearby birds flutter in to linger at the fountain throughout the day. The guest room features skylights and an ensuite bathroom.
Sliding glass doors frame the pool as you head down the hallway, lined with built-in storage. Here, you’ll find another renovated bathroom. The primary suite is at the end of the hallway, surrounded by windows framing the pool and the neighboring hillsides. A two-car garage with direct access completes the dwelling.
The Neighborhood
Conveniently located, the house stands between the 2 Freeway and the City of Glendale. A few blocks away is the heart of Verdugo Village, where storefronts line the streets.
