Property Description

In the heart of the pending Bellehurst Historic District of Glendale's Rossmoyne, atop a rolling grassy knoll, surrounded by lush landscaping sits this romantic yet distinguished two-story Spanish Revival home. Anchored by a turret entry and featuring classic design elements such as a red tile roof, a wood balcony and stained glass windows this 99 year old house retains much of its original glory. The grand Foyer-in-the-round has colorful original hex tiles and opens through an arch into the dramatic Living Room that features a south facing arched picture window, wood ceiling with exposed stenciled beams, a gas fireplace, period lighting, original hardwood floors and built-in bookshelves. The bright Dining Room has a built-in dry bar, an iron chandelier and lots of windows including the double French doors out to the pergola covered Patio. The Kitchen has been tastefully updated with granite counters atop dark wood cabinets that house stainless appliances. The adjoining Breakfast Nook gets beautiful morning light and opens onto a charming walled Patio. The home's Powder Room and Laundry are also part of the Kitchen. The second floor has three bedrooms including the huge private Primary Suite that has a spacious walk-in closet and lovely updated hex shaped full Bathroom in the turret. Across the hall is the second Bedroom that also has a large walk-in closet and views of the lush backyard. The third Bedroom, which also makes a great Den/Office (photographed here in each iteration), features built-in bookshelves and access to the wood balcony with treetop views toward downtown Glendale. The two Bedrooms are separated by a period-inspired updated Jack & Jill full Bathroom. Out back, the Yard has been thoughtfully terraced to create a large flat area off the back of the house which features a turf play area as well as a lushly landscaped Patio anchored by a tranquil tiered water feature. The upper Terrace affords a quiet place to relax and soak up some sun surrounded by more rejuvenating plantings. Packaged together the many features of this special home combine to create a magical experience 100 years in the making. Near to local shopping including TJ's, Ralph's, Starbucks, Equinox as well as the 2, 5 and 134 fwys.
