Property Description

There are only so many classic Spanish Colonial Revival homes left, and this one in the foothills of the coveted Rossmoyne Historic District of Glendale is a standout. As you walk through this four-bedroom, three-bath home, which pairs sunlit rooms with thoughtful spaces for daily life, you'll want to make this architectural slice of history your own. A walled front courtyard with Spanish-tiled steps and bubbling fountain welcomes you in. Beyond the front entry, with the most charming vintage cross-inset window, you'll find the airy and light step-down living room with its original stenciled beams, fireplace, built-in bookshelves and generous windows to bring in dappled sunlight. An arched opening leads to the dining room, followed by a charming breakfast area and easygoing sunroom/den with views of the backyard and mature Camellia trees. The kitchen is simply stunning -- period-appropriate tile, vintage light fixtures, and a style that blends so effortlessly with the house you'd think it was original -- yet it's all new and outfitted with an ILVE induction range (if you know, you know), Cafe smart microwave/oven plus combo, wine fridge, ice maker, and French-door refrigerator. A convenient ensuite bedroom on the main level suits guests, work, or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the airy primary suite has a balcony to bring in fresh breezes, two closets, refreshed bathroom and connects to a spacious sunroom/study/nursery with treetop views. Two additional bedrooms, one with French windows and a balconette, share a newly renovated bathroom, complete with soaking tub and Zellige-tiled shower. Outdoors, choose your moment: the front patio for morning coffee, or the backyard with its large patio, grassy play area, and bougainvillea-covered nook for lazy afternoons and evening dinners. Practical perks: a well-sized walk-down basement for storage and projects, a detached two-car garage with driveway, refinished wood floors, restored magnesite entryway and stairs, tankless water heater, whole-house water filtration system, newer HVAC, eco-friendly furnaces, and a medical-grade whole-house air purification IQAir system. Super close to Nibley Park, with its children's play area, oak trees, and tennis courts. Go grocery shopping at Whole Foods with Erewhon coming soon. If you're active, you'll love the numerous hiking trails. When it's time to relax, there are plenty of coffee shops, cafes, and restaurants nearby. Rossmoyne, a designated historic district, blends 1920s-1930s period revival architecture with tree-lined streets and decorative streetlights help maintain the charm in this coveted enclave. Homes like this are why people fall in love with Rossmoyne: authentic details, abundant light, and indoor-outdoor living in a setting that feels both established and genuinely welcoming.
